Good question, Mr. Chairman. They wanted to upgrade the Hay River and Norman Wells airports that were already built. It is important to point out that they already had those dollars in their budget and it was just a ploy, in my opinion, for the federal Department of Transportation to get some additional dollars. So, it was their intent to upgrade the Hay River airport and do work in the Norman Wells airport where we had just finished doing a major airport terminal building.
