Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question for the Minister with regard to the college HEO program equipment replacement. I notice as I looked at this line, there is a two-year gap. They have $200,000, $485,000 next year. The concern I have, Mr. Chairman, is that for a number of years prior when we were going through the cost reductions and deficit reductions, the capital replacement for heavy equipment was sacrificed. Like many of the other capital items in the government, we are building up a tremendous deficit here. The need to replace heavy equipment is not being maintained and the cost of heavy equipment is very high. I would like to ask the Minister about the gap of two years in 2003-2004, 2004-2005, considering how far we are falling behind in trying to maintain an even remotely modern fleet of heavy equipment to train Northerners on. Thank you.
