Thank you, Mr. Speaker. From what I read, the Minister is saying not all of the money will be spent this year. I am sure that there may have been some pre-knowledge of what was possible to be done this year and I am wondering why we allocated $8.6 million to this particular project when perhaps there were other requirements as well. In other words, we are getting into a division issue next year, separate budgets for each territory and so forth. My question is, was the department not ready to let tenders, as they usually are sort of around early April. Could the Minister tell us why they were not ready in early April?
