Mr. Chairman, just two points on the water supply for Arviat. There is $28,000 in this year's capital budget for that Wolf Creek psroject, with $500,000 future years' anticipated expenditures I may have misled the committee, Mr. Chairman, and I would like to clear that up. I mentioned on the correctional centre and the locks, the electrically operated locks did not work. They were used much, much more than the manufacturer anticipated. Inmates soon learned how to defeat the single cell locks in the high security area, and breakdowns of the corridor locks were frequent. The manufacturer was then taken over by another firm, service deteriorated even further, and some parts are now hard to obtain. DPW thinks that the locking system is no longer cost effective or safe, and replacement is indicated as economical and efficient, probably back to the old key system. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
