Mr. Chairman, there is a community granular program. it is a revolving fund of eight million dollars, and it is run by the Department of Public Works. They go from community to community and stockpile gravel, and as the gravel is used, the moneys in the fund are replenished. It is a revolving fund, and I will be glad to get both Mr. Zoe and Mr. Arngna'naaq the information on the schedules that those people have at the present time, and where they are at with it this year I will have to deliver it at a later date, though, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, another general question in regard to MACA capital. Since I view MACA as being the lead department in regard to putting in place community transportation infrastructure -- I am making reference to stuff like roads, docks, airports -- since you are the lead department and airports come under Transportation, I am just wondering, what types of initiatives in the area of transportation infrastructure is your department taking in regard to capital?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The task that we have for putting transportation infrastructures in the communities is in the transportation strategy that was tabled in the Legislative Assembly some time ago. Our plan
is to put airports, mainly, and also marine facilities, in communities where there are no roads, and where there are roads, to improve the road going into the community. We could put airports where h makes sense to put airports. We try to do that, but it would be our priority to put airports where there are no roads going into the communities. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, maybe instead of going after my colleague from lqaluit, I will make comments to the Minister of Transportation. In regard to capital planning, the planning money, I do not see moneys here in the capital planning portion of his department or MACA in terms of doing feasibility studies. I do not see money in the capital budget of either department, so is it in the capital budget or is it in the O and M side of their departments?

Normally, for capital projects the planning money is included in the capital plan. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, just one more question, then, so I do not delay the committee. Where does the money come from to undertake feasibility studies, to determine if the projec tis viable or not, before you continue? Is that out of O and M, or is it included in capital under capital projects?

Mr. Chairman, needs assessment is mostly done out of O and M. When the project becomes specific, then the planning money obviously forms part of the capital dollars allocated to that particular venture, so there are funds in O and M for needs assessment.

Mr. Chairman, could I ask the Minister why we are replacing the locks at Yellowknife Correctional Centre? What is wrong with the locks we have there? Is that the electronic locks or the key locks, the padlocks -- what kinds of locks are we talking about?
