Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With regard to the Aklavik Health Centre, there has been a delay in place, yet going through the budget I noticed from previous years to this year's budget, they have almost $3.5 million. I received a letter from the Minister of Public Works stating that the department is reviewing or assessing the proposal for the Aklavik Health Centre. They are doing an adjustment to lowering the cost to no more than $3 million. Yet, in the budget, the budget shows it is $3.5 million.

Who is the one who makes the decision on how the money is being spent within the budget? Is it the Department of Public Works or the Minister? The letter I received was signed by the deputy minister to myself with regard to a request I made in the House asking for information with regard to the health centre project for Aklavik.

The community is concerned. I have spoken to the nurses and also the nurse-in-charge. They cannot see themselves having their staff room in the same room that is classified as a lab room where you do your tests and what not. The size of the facility that is being described has been cutback. Where the community has requested some 700 square metres, now it has been cut back to 750. They are still continuing to bring down the price of the budget.

In the capital allocation within this budget, it clearly states previous year was $1 million and there is $2.5 million being spent, yet there hasn't been one piece of material or the contract has been let go yet. I would like to ask the Minister what can the department do to ensure the community of Aklavik will be getting what they are requesting, which is the $3.5 million allocation that is in the budget, not what the Department of Public Works is stating where they are reducing the cost to $3 million?
