Mr. Richie Boucher:

On the public private partnerships we have been involved in, there is the N7 project and some schools financing, where we finance the constructor in partnership and then we do a long-term term-out loan for the operation of the thing. There is an equity participation. With the constructor or contractor, we take an element of the construction risk - that it can be completed - and we take the trading or take-on risk.
