Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have concerns as well with this government's ability to shift money around after the budget was approved. But I am not sure that it is not required in order for the government to operate properly. I think we discussed quite a while ago, over the past winter, that we would allow managers to manage. I believe that we are seeing an example of that to some degree. Some people would approve of it, some will not.

I do not mind to say that at this point in time, that one of my communities benefited from further money being put into the project. But I am sure that if you listen to the justification for it, you would agree it makes sense. I do question, like Mr. Miltenberger again, a million dollars that was moved down in Fort Simpson. But again, I think that we are here and understanding that that was partly federal dollars, it might have had something to do with it. I believe that we will hear from the government, justifications for what they have done. I hear from some MLAs that they suggested once the budget is approved, it should not be able to be spent otherwise without Member's consent. But if it took all the members to agree to the budget, where does one Member get the right to agree to amend it?

The whole argument comes back to if the Ministers can not do it, why would the Ministers plus one MLA have a right to do it?

I can go along with the government being required to, at least, contact the communities being affected, and the MLA that is being affected, to discuss what impact this would actually have on the community, if the project was completely killed, and the funds put towards the deficit.

I hear many MLAs over the past few weeks saying that there are not enough capital dollars being spent already. We need more capital dollars. We need economic opportunities in our communities. I think that if the government totally removed the capital dollars from the community because the project was delayed, it could not go ahead for the sea lift, whatever the reason is.

I am sure the community would like to see that money spent on another project, if possible, rather than put towards the deficit. I believe that we all agreed that this is what we could afford to put towards the deficit. We already did. Putting more towards the deficit, simply because the project did not get going might not be a smart idea, considering the amount of economic opportunities our communities have.

In summary, Mr. Chairman, I would say that I suppose when my communities get cut, I will not be very happy about it. But at the same time, I am of the opinion that we must let managers manage. Thank you.
