Mr. Chairman, I will try to explain it once again. Prior to last year, in 1990-91, $260,000 was approved and used by the Department of Education toward the applied arts and library building. Last year, $400,000 was approved to address the applied arts and library building. However, only $185,000 of that $400,000 was actually used. What they did was carry over $285,000, the remaining dollars, to look at continuing to work toward this building. Last year, it was anticipated they would spend four million dollars on this applied arts and library building. However, it was not in this year's budget. So when the Minister indicated that this arts and library building was deferred he stated that it was deferred because of SCOF's recommendation, and I am disputing that remark. I am stating that it was deferred even prior to SCOF receiving the capital budget, and I would like to know why.
