Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Chairman, in the water and sewer account there is a shortfall for 1994-95 of $2.022 million. There will be some reimbursements to MACA by the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation in the amount of $491,000. The department has identified $331,000 from within its budget that it can put towards this shortfall which means that there is a shortfall in the department in this particular area of $1.2 million, Mr. Chairman. That is why the motion has been put forward. Unfortunately, this was not discovered until late in the year and we were unable to get it into the supp and get it before the Standing Committee on Finance and, as I advised the standing committee in the House yesterday, we did have knowledge of it and I wanted to make the House aware because otherwise the Minister's department would appear to have overspent by some $1.2 million and this would be a better way to handle the situation. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
