Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under the regional operations, there's an item that has come up several times through supplementary appropriation that's in regard to the hamlet road, Tuktoyaktuk, $123,000. My understanding is that there was $1.3 million given to the community of Tuktoyaktuk through a supplementary last year about this time. At that time, the argument was that the money was needed immediately if the hamlet wanted to take advantage of the winter months hauling period and that the tender had to go so the project would be completed by this time last year. I would like to ask the Minister exactly why is it that this supplementary continues to be carried over? At the time the argument was that this was an emergency. It came by way of a special warrant, and it was needed because the damage to the road in the community was not there. So I would like to ask the Minister why is it that this project did not show up through the main estimates, and it's again on the supplementary appropriation table and there's no public record of this expenditure being made through the main estimates or through any public documentation?
