Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not going to speak in opposition to a particular project, but I do want to raise the matter of the project at Lac La Martre. I will raise it in a number of other areas also. I would hope, Mr. Chairman, that the department, along with the Minister, will review whether or not the project of the office/warehouse complex can be better dealt with by the band and in the context of leasing the appropriate space to this government. From an economic perspective, it is an advantage to the community and to the band. You should find out whether or not that option is available to the band and see if the financial resources can be made available through other financial options to the band. I raise that point because I noted it as part of the recommendations that have been made. I am not sure whether the office warehouse complex can meet the needs of the community in a more general context rather than just in the wildlife responsibility context. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to make the observation, as I said in my opening remarks, that the department is prepared to look at options. Mr. Nerysoo suggested leasing spaces if there are existing buildings from local businesses or community organizations. We are prepared to do that if that is the best option in any community. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, could I ask the Minister about this particular project that my colleague made reference to: the office/warehouse complex. This particular project has already been approved, and it has been deferred or delayed for a year. Can I ask where the money is, because I did not see any negative supp coming through with regard to this project. A certain amount of money was approved. We were asking for $250,000 on top of that. Could I ask what happened to that previous amount?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There was some money set aside for the development of this project in 1991-92. We were allowed to lapse that money through our restraining program. It lapsed from 1991-92.
