Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Resolute Bay air terminal building is going to be replaced. The original plan was to begin the construction in the 1996/97 year, finishing off in 1998/99. The new plan is to finish the construction at the same time, 1998/99. However, there are some changes this year because the project was delayed because of the inability to confirm the requirements of the flight service station from the federal government. We waited for the federal government to make a decision as to whether or not they were going to have the flight service station in it. Up to this point in time, they have not decided. As a result of that, the plan for the airport terminal building was to include this flight service station which is at the considerable cost of $1.6 million. As a result of the delay and waiting for the federal government to make a decision, we have decided that it is too late to do anything this year, so we have delayed this project. Some work will be done this year, and the bulk of the work will start next year with the conclusion of the project at the same time in 1998/99 as the original plan. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
