Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in regard to this particular matter, I have some real difficulties with it because of the amounts that this project was originally, it was budgeted for $490,000, at which it was tendered, and the tender came in at $795,000. Mr. Chairman, I think that is unacceptable, especially in light of the particular project that I was trying to get in my riding, which was over by $3,500, it was rejected and put back out to public tender. Mr. Chairman, I would like to know exactly why was this project allowed to come in so much over budget, and yet still succeeded, while every other riding and community in the territories is restricted by financial regulations criteria, that we are not allowed to have these expenditures, yet in this case we are talking about almost $300,000.
