Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The department has a capital planning process that involves setting targets for each of our capital program areas. Based on all of the capital plan submissions that have come in from communities, we've attempted to priorize based on the projects that come in for each of the programs based on their needs. In the sport and recreation area, the arena project for Rae Lakes was identified for 1996-97, as opposed to 1995-96 because of the target level that was set for that particular program and all the projects that had been submitted under sport and recreation. That's in recognition also of the fact that the department has maintained the level of funding in the sport and recreation program, more or less at a consistent level over the last number of years.

There is another review that goes on of capital projects in the scheduling of capital projects that occurs at the interdepartmental committee on capital planning, in which they do take stock of the total government capital that will be taking place in the community itself. I don't have the information on what the total capital plan is for Rae Lakes, but that might have been another factor as well that played in the scheduling of the arena project.
