Mr. Speaker, I said there was a set of rules and regulations and spending authorities that deputy ministers, superintendents, economic development officers, clerks and everybody else has in this government. There is no requirement, in this particular case, for the FMB approval. This was within the rules and regulations and spending authority of that particular deputy and as such, he acted accordingly, put into place a system that saved this government over the long-term money and we applaud him for it.
