Mr. Chairman, Nutaraq's Place was already in place and it had certain O and M dollars to run the existing facility. It was found very shortly after the facility became operational, that the need was greater than the facility could meet, and through a very ambitious fund-raising program the committee was able to raise a lot of private money to offset the additional costs that were incurred by moving this project forward. Some territorial dollars were accessed, but I think the O and M of it is basically the same. You know, the Member is right, that facilities and projects should not go ahead unless the operating dollars are secure.
