As chairman of the Resource Management and Development committee, we did have this debate internally and it didn't come out to being this active. We didn't realize there was this much of a problem. If you look at the other facilities that are being built -- such as the Iqaluit project for $1.42 million, the facility in Pangnirtung of $2.205 million -- if you look at the price range of the final product, it isn't a major item. I think because money has already been allocated to the project for the preparation to get to this stage and it is federal dollars that we are spending -- which is something we should take advantage of -- we didn't have a problem with it in committee, so I recommend that we proceed.
