Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The problem I have is I have had this experience with other projects in my riding with regard to the different schools that have been constructed. It seemed like there was always these cost overruns or cost deficiencies in how it is being handled. In this case of the Aklavik Health Centre, so far it has gone through three different project managers. It has not even got off the drawing board yet. It is not out to public tender, but this thing has been in the works for a couple of years now. Now they are telling us we aren't going to be able to get the materials in over the winter road, so we are going to have to barge it in. I see that as an extra cost that wasn't included. The costs would have been cheaper to truck the materials in all the way from wherever the materials are going to be coming from directly to Aklavik than having to truck it into Inuvik, store it in warehousing, pick it up again, put it in a barge, barge it in, take it off the barge, move it to site. You are moving the thing three times. So for me that is an unforeseen cost. Yet, the community is penalized because of someone else's mistakes or someone else's delays. These delays are going to cost more money in the long run than what's in the budget. But because of that, the community is going to be penalized because of someone else's mistakes.

I, for one, have a real problem with Public Works when it comes to them managing these type of projects where they're given the ability to take on these projects. They add their 15 percent up top -- in some cases, probably 20 or 30 percent -- for all these different engineering studies, delays in projects because of change of personnel or what not. I think it will be cheaper for this government in the long run, when we have these types of projects, to go to the private sector. When we have three different project managers handling a project that never even gets off the ground, I think there's something wrong. I would like to ask the Minister, what are you doing to review the responsibility of Public Works to oversee these type of contracts, especially the contracts that are being delayed because of administration problems within a separate department?
