Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I, too, have concerns about what has transpired. I was one of the ones that helped approve the budget in the spring session, and I was under the impression that that budget was allocated to specific projects in specific areas in specific constituencies; and there was a semblance of fairness associated with that at the time.

I later find out that funds have been moved from one project to another, from one constituency to another and what is more embarrassing, believe me, if it was my constituency, you would hear about it and you would hear loudly about it, because do not do that to me. That is my attitude, now it is happening to other members here, but by heavens I would certainly speak up very, very loudly. Louder than I would right now. I think that is what is at stake here.

So, I think the problem that we have here is members who are not consulted when it comes to changing money from one constituency to another. Members were embarrassed by the fact that this money was moved.

I cannot believe that in one case in a constituency it was moved in for two projects, the member did not know about that. Now that is extremely embarrassing for the member. It is not only embarrassing, but what do his constituents feel about that particular member - he did not know about it. So, I think that we have a problem here in communication or in process. If the managers have to manage and if they need that right to do so, then fine, but I think they have the obligation and the responsibility as a manager to communicate with the member that is being affected. Now, I think what I would like to possibly do, there are a number of areas here that, no doubt, there are a lot of questions on, and I would like to pose some questions in specific areas. Other members may have questions in those specific areas as well.

For example I would like to know the justification for the expenditure of the Cambridge Bay Tembind application and the airport. Was this in the five year capital plan and what is the justification for that particular project? And I would like to have some answers on that, perhaps some other questions as well, but that may be my first question Mr. Chairman.
