With regard to page 10-31, Keewatin; the thing that jumps out is the overall capital cost of the whole project. It is $12 million. Right now, we're talking about restraint, we're talking about trying to cut back; yet, I don't see too many projects in the other areas with regard to residential subdivision development of over $1 million in any of the other regions. There has to be demand in the other areas because we're saying that there's a shortage of housing. In my riding, I see we have $30,000 to do some work. There's a lot of difference between $30,000 and $1.5 million. Have you done an assessment of exactly where the most need is? Was Rankin picked because it was in the bid to become the capital of Nunavut? Was that part of the preplanning process that was put into it, because of the influx of people with becoming the capital? When they made the decision, were they going to pour $12 million into there, with the intention of it eventually becoming the capital? That is no longer an issue. Was that a factor that was built into making the decision to allow $12 million to go in there over the next couple of years?
