Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the department a few more questions regarding the project that was taken over by DPW in Rankin Inlet. Mr. Chairman, going through the department's budget, both DPW and Transportation, the projects are identified along with the

personnel that carried out these projects. I find it confusing as to why one department would have to find it necessary to take on the responsibilities of another department. We are not just talking about taking on the work. DPW actually tendered that contract. My question to the Minister is, was it shortage of personnel? What was the reason that DPW had to do this job for Transportation?
