Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, again we are sliding back into the specific area where the deputy minister exercises full authority in negotiating the extension of an existing lease. It is not a new lease, it is not a new arrangement, therefore, he had the full authority to go ahead and exercise his full authority in this regard. Yes, we have signed over full authority to the deputy minister but, again, there are a lot of safeguards in place. In the future we go year by year in this government. We realize that the appropriations for this department have to be approved by this Legislative Assembly on a yearly basis. That is understood. Thank you.
