Mr. Chairman, the intent or the purpose of the budget before us is to look at funding for next year's activities. The uniqueness of this request is that they're asking for money that has already been expended with no approval from the Assembly. The normal process is either through special warrant or through supplementary appropriation. The MLA, who is a Minister of the government, should at least have been aware of the process, but more so the department officials should be aware of the process. Now you're asking us to rubber stamp a funding request that has already been expended. Where is your consideration for Members in this House who take the time to look at these budget requests? Thank you.

As I have said, it was a unique opportunity. I thought it was commendable of the municipality to do it. It certainly wasn't the intent to circumvent anybody, it was just a unique opportunity that unfolded. I suppose we could -- if the ordinary Members felt it necessary to reallocate this funding -- go back and to a special warrant now, but while the money may be spent and the project done it hasn't been billed for. My feeling, at the time, and still is, is that this was an opportunity to save the government a significant amount of money, similar to what we've done on other projects. Depending on how you view it, I thought it was -- and still do, by the way -- a good initiative. If we've circumvented the system then all I can do is apologize for it.
