Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the concern with the timing, to me, was a valid one in respect to the commitments I had made in this House to Mr. Roland and to Mr. Picco, in trying to bring on stream the start of construction for both those major capital health projects in their communities. Recognizing the Department of Health and Social Services, we had to know where we were going before we could do some of the planning for those facilities, in conjunction with the boards that oversee health care operations there. We had to have something in place by late 1997, in order to make some budgetary planning for the 1998 fiscal year, Madam Chair. That is the emphasis and the rational for the essence of the timing on this project, Madam Chair. Thank you.
