Mr. Chairman, I do not go to all the hospital board meetings and when I was asked to appear as the previous Minister of Health, it was not an issue that was brought up for discussion, although it is very clear that this allocation is out there and earmarked. I know there is a motion. I cannot answer that clearly. We can get the answer to it. I know that on a number of occasions it was addressed even in discussions with Iqaluit. Where does the money go? Does it sit in a special pocket or does it go back into general revenue? I have asked the question several times and my understanding is that it is earmarked. Deciding whether it is put into a separate pot or not is not a matter of it not being designated at a certain time for that particular facility. I would have to get back to the Member with a more detailed response. I know that everyone is aware that those allocations were there.
