The question I am asking is; there is $446,000 identified in the current capital budget under Nutaraq's, Place and that has been expended, but if you go back to last year's capital budget there is no funding identified for Nutaraq's for $446,000. So where did these funds come from, and how were they expended? That is what I am asking.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Through a variety of surpluses in other projects, renovations, the purchase of furniture, and a variety of things, the amount of money was found.

I believe Mrs. Marie-Jewell might have had some supplementaries. I have another question which is
related to this particular item, but the Minister just a few minutes ago said there was no money available. The request that was made, for instance, from the Inuvik group was made during the year, last year in fact, so I am even more curious now as to why their capital requirements were not addressed prior to a new project of this type. It does not make any sense to me. They were in existence before this particular project was even approved, so it does not make any sense why we should not be addressing previously organized shelters before we build new ones. I am just kind of curious as to why we did not address that matter. I would think most other Members here would also be concerned if we were expending new capital money on new projects when their projects have not been addressed.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think the requests for funding certainly came earlier than did the Inuvik request, as far as I understand, and Nutaraq's Place, the society that operates it, undertook a very aggressive fund-raising project to offset the additional costs that it would take to build the extension. They have clearly demonstrated an awful lot of involvement in this project. This project has been a very successful project; it has operated well within its budget for the period of time that they have been operating, have kept staff and have excellent training. It had a good record, and I understand that the project was identified earlier than the Inuvik project.

Mr. Chairman, if I am able to get an indication from the Inuvik group that their proposals were submitted prior to the Iqaluit submission, is the Minister prepared to find the capital funding? It does not make any sense because I think it is unfair to them to make the suggestion that their proposal was in before Inuvik's, because I do not think that was necessarily the case.

Can I have a little bit of order here, please. I am having a hard time. Some of the microphones are picking up the conversation which is getting a bit loud, and we cannot recognize the speaker any more. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It was difficult to understand what the Member was asking because of the other background noises. Could I ask Mr. Nerysoo to repeat the question for me?

Mr. Chairman, in last year's estimates there was an approval of $145,000 for a group home in Igloolik. There is nothing in this year's estimates. What happened to that money?

Mr. Chairman, some of the money from that project went to the Nutaraq project.

Well, then it is obvious that the project in Igloolik was cancelled. What was the reason for it being cancelled?

It is not reflected in this year's capital, Mr. Chairman.
