Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I believe over the summer, I received a note from the Minister saying $200,000 was taken out of the Holman terminal building and used, I believe, in Cambridge Bay or somewhere. I wonder if that funding is going to be returned to Holman?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I note here, $702,000 for Holman, but I note for prior years it is $441,000. I believe we approved some $800,000 last year in the Holman budget. What happened to it?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in the previous year, $941,000 was approved and because the project did not go ahead last year, $500,000 was taken out of it. Last year it was only $202,000 for this current year, together it adds up and we transferred that money. We added up $500,000, $202,000 and $702,000. We just moved the money from last year to this year. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, most of the $441,000 will be transferred over, if it was not spent last year. The $441,000 was not spent. Some of it was but most of it, $320,000 of that, is still there. Some of it was used in planning and so forth. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not know if this is appropriate for this particular activity, but I am wondering what the $500,000 was spent on that was taken out of Holman's budget?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the $500,000 was spent on the Cambridge Bay airport. Cambridge Bay is scheduled to do the project in two years, but because they are ahead of schedule and the project in Holman was delayed last year, we just swapped $500,000 and sped up the fast track to get close to completion of the airport terminal building in Cambridge Bay. Thank you.
