Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will get back to the amount of overtime to employees at the North Slave Correctional Centre. For the period of one year, up until May 31, 2004, that amount was $216,395. Between June 1, 2004, and September 30, 2004, that amount was $243,913. Could the Minister explain why it is that his department, who knew for three years that they were moving into a new facility, wasn't staffed up to the level that it had to be and didn't take the measures that were necessary to not have to pay this amount of overtime? It's ridiculous to think that in a four-month period we paid more than we did in an entire year. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
