With regard to that $446,000 that was spent this summer; there was a motion passed and I am sure that the justification for this expenditure must have been evaluated before -- this was not approved by the House, Mr. Chairman, so in order to justify this expenditure there must have been some statistics done, some studies done, some planning, some design, because last year there was no allocation for this amount, nor was there any money for the planning or design. So I would like to ask the Minister, how was it determined that a shelter should be built in Iqaluit. It came without any preliminary plans whatsoever, or design. Perhaps the Minister might be able to enlighten me about that. Mr. Chairman, we do have in the Deh Cho region 10 communities, and I do not think the need for a shelter is any less in that region as opposed to any other region, so perhaps the Minister might enlighten me. I know this has been an ongoing problem in my own constituency as well, but it has never been addressed.
