Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is part of the budgeting exercise the department went through; this is a result of the process we went through. We had to look at all of the different projects. In taking a closer look at this project, as the assistant deputy minister has said, this was scaled down from the original tenders. The prices came in very high. As a result of that, the department decided to do this project and phase it over three years to encourage local involvement by having the work scheduled in a manageable amount each year. We feel this will probably provide more income to the community and, at the same time, the type of repairs required to rehab the air terminal building would be satisfactory. Thank you.
