Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in this particular case, the technical people went into the communities and took a real close look at the equipment that was there. It was determined, at that time, that it only required about $50,000 worth of work and there was no need to allocate any more resources to that until it is warranted during the actual fixing up of this system. The technical people then report to the assistant deputy minister in the east and this information is moved over towards the headquarters here. During the budget restraint exercise this department had to take, we had to look at everything. As a result of that, we did not target any community specifically, but we do not need that amount of resources to be allocated to this particular project. As a result, a decision was made here at headquarters level with myself involved, to determine that this project will have less resources put into it than was originally thought it would require. Thank you.
