Mr. Chairman. I would just like to make reference to some items that were discussed in the committee regarding the funding for the Rankin Inlet tank farm project and the docking facility. The committee agreed that the docking facility in Rankin Inlet was not linked to the tank farm, but that the tank farm project was linked to the tank farm. The Minister had informed the committee that $820,000 in the 97/98 main estimates was linked to the tank farm itself. We were awaiting the report of the Keewatin Resupply Steering Committee and that report has now been put forward. The Minister felt he should leave the money in the estimates until such time as that particular report had come through. Now that the report and its recommendations have been issued, it is felt by the committee Members that money, directly attributed to the tank farm should not be spent on that project. Hence the reason for the motion, Mr. Chairman.
