MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:25): At that meeting. I don't have the date with me. It was several months ago. They originally came and asked me whether I would make a significant grant for this project. I answered no. They went away and then they came back with subsequent discussions. But their first bid to me—the meeting was at the request of the chair of the Stadium Management Authority, Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce—was for the government to provide a grant of $42 million for this project and we answered in the negative.
