Perhaps if I could just explain to the committee, Mr. Chairman, this was a carry over, unspent capital funds from 1990 and 1991, and it was to provide a needs analysis study for the Prince of Wales Heritage Museum, and when the Financial Management Board approved that transfer carry-forward, Mr. Chairman, it directed that no detailed design or construction is to be undertaken in the 1991-92 fiscal year due to the high 1992-93 funding requirement associated with this request. But at the same time, the Financial Management Board felt that a needs assessment of that particular institution was required and would be a good thing to have on hand, because as the chairman of the standing committee on finance has mentioned, there are more artifacts coming into its possession and we did feel we needed to know what the needs were.
