Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to thank the Member for the couple of hours notice that he did give me on this question.

I thank him for raising the issue. It is always good to hear about issues out in the regions. The married students' residence you are talking about was, I believe, built last year or the year before. The windows were not installed to the specifications the department asked for and we ended up in a dispute with the consultant. There was a pending court case that could have possibly gone ahead. We ended up looking after this project from Yellowknife with the original project officer who was on the job from day one.
This project occurred before the decentralization of minor projects happened. We felt it was important to keep the same project officer to deal with the consultant. We managed to come to agreement with the local consultant. He paid two-thirds of the cost and we ended up paying one-third, without going to court. So, it came to a satisfactory conclusion and I believe that residents who are living in this residence are quite happy with the windows that do now open. Thank you.
