Can the Minister tell me why it is that the dollars that are set forth during the capital planning process... the argument was they needed a supplementary for a road repair because it's a service road, it goes out to the sewage lagoon or the garbage dump and that's why they needed $800,000. Again, that could have been done through a main estimate process. Now we see here again $378,000 that is coming through that wasn't previously authorized. You are saying the money was already there. If the Minister can get the information... The way these special warrants are being abused. That's what it is, abuse. We have a system in place through the capital planning process that's there for a particular reason. This is an emergency. You can understand it when human life is being threatened, but at this point I don't believe it is. Under what criteria of the Financial Administration Act was this project managed to be classified under and put into the budget as not previously authorized?
