Mr. Chairman, "cost increases sue to design modifications" on the centre, I believe it is in Iqaluit -- why are they making design changes?

There were two design changes. Early on in the project it was decided to make the project into more of a multi-use facility, Mr. Chairman, and also I think the majority of the amount would be attributed to the water and sewer system that this government had to put in because the Town of Iqaluit, for some reason or other, chose not to and yet insisted that it be put in. So those were the two main changes, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, this project was partially offset by a five year lapse. Could we get figures? How much of this money is new and how much was lapse money?

There was $380,000 in prior years, 1990-91, Mr. Chairman, and I specify that that was a lapse of funds and there was a carry over in the 1991-92 supp No. 1 of some $253,000. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
