Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That is a large amount that has not been previously authorized. I would like to know from the Minister exactly what was the emergency that called for such a major increase of $10,652,000, which is a large amount when you consider the main estimates was for $16 million.

Voytilla

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There has been an acceleration in the schedule for the completion of the project due to some very successful negotiations with the firm that is doing the work. As a result, they will complete the project construction much quicker, making it open quicker, and all that is being done without an increase in the total cost. The project has been very successful and we are now in a position to see it completed earlier.
