Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In fact, the $500,091 does not include constituency office lease because that is paid from the administration. It is not charged to the Member. If you want to include that for additional costs, there is an additional $93,000 if you were to include constituency office leases.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So just for clarification, what we will expect to see, it is not included right now in this one, and we are living within our means in a sense for the first third of the budget. The rest of that money to account for 19 Members, which is the growth of the Assembly, five new Members, everything from top to bottom trying to get it in there for operation as a Member, so it is not $500,090. Is it $680,000 or is it $500,090? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For Members, the answer is yes, it is $680,000. You have to remember there is money being moved around from other activities. So the net amount for the Assembly's budget will not be 600 and some odd thousand dollars. But for the Members' expenditure activity, it will be $680,000.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was wondering if the Minister could elaborate on this project that has appeared. The concern was there was money but no project. I am not sure how it was done, if it was done alphabetically because it begins with "a". I was wondering if the Minister could elaborate on how they came to choose Aklavik. If in fact the document they talked about, their strategic functional review, was done, were they able to make a decision based on some sound facts and figures and assessments? Thank you.
