Thank you, Mr. Speaker and thank you colleagues. Commercial buildings are primarily appraised from three approaches, market, replacement cost and, most importantly, income. Who could argue that a building with a guaranteed income of almost $10 million over the next eight years was worth $5.8 million? It was a very safe loan for the Pacific and Western Trust Company, the company which incidently holds 25 percent of the Aurora Investment Fund assets in liquid securities. The fund which Mr. Bailey coincidentally manages. Although the Marceaus did not realize the $5.8 million their building was worth, $4 million was a lot better than the operating overhead on an empty office building. Although Cabinet had not endorsed any office space plan, the deputy minister, Ken Lovely, with absolutely no direction or knowledge of the Minister of Public Works and Services, negotiated an eight-year almost $10 million office lease. This whole transaction, we were told, was done because it was a good deal for the government. It was not a bad deal we gathered for the Marceaus, given the eminent alternative of an empty building. This is a good deal. We do not have to be told from Mr. Mrdjenovich and Mr. Bailey. Was it a good deal for the people of the Northwest Territories? Mr. Speaker, I do not know the answer to that question, but I believe I have taken this issue as far as I can in this forum. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
