Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for Health, but if she wants to pass it along to the Minister of Public Works...it is regarding the Aklavik Health Centre. There has been a delay in the construction of the new health centre. There has also been a change in transporting the materials into Aklavik. They are now going to be barged in. Originally, they were supposed to be trucked in over the winter road.

The concern I have, Mr. Speaker, is because of these changes and delays, it is having an affect on the overall cost of the project. Not only because of the delays, but in having over three different people to date handling this project. There are also cost overruns associated with the project management and the engineering architectural designs associated with the construction and design of this building. These cost overruns are having an effect on the quality of the building.

The community's concern is with all of these different people involved, and now they are talking about making cuts and amendments to the building, what will it do for the programs that will be delivered through this new health centre by decreasing the design and size of the building. Could the Minister tell me what the cost associated with these delays and cost overruns to date are because of this? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
