Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to make a comment with regard to the rehab airfield lighting at Arviat, where $50,000 has been slated in the capital estimates in this year, but in the five-year capital plan $530,000 was slated to be spent on the upgrading of the Arviat airport lighting. That was a project planned by the department and agreed to, I understand, by the community. When the business plans came forward this year, it showed $50,000 instead of $500,000. In that regard, the committee reviewed this with the Minister but the committee was not convinced that this $50,000 is correct and felt that the $530,000 should be reinstated and, in that regard, Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion. I move that this committee recommends that the funds originally scheduled for the Arviat airport lighting project be reinstated in the 1997-98 fiscal year. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
