Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have to disagree with what the Minister is indicating to me. I want to explain it once again to the Minister. In 1990-91 the Department of Education expended $260,000 toward the applied arts and library building. In 1991-92 they got approval from this House to expend an additional $400,000 on the arts and library building. Then, Mr. Chairman, out of that $400,000 that was approved by this House they only expended $115,000, so therefore they had a surplus in that particular area of $285,000, and his intention was to carry over this surplus and work on the applied arts building, so therefore he was actually deferring the project in comparison to last year's capital budget. So this deferral for this arts and library building was taking place before SCOF recommended to the Minister that it be done, and I would like to know why.
