Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, when the plan came forward, there was no identified office space. It was a plan that we knew would go into gear. We had approved the money for the O and M side to hire the lawyers, to have the other staff in place, that we would be needing office space. Based on the design of what would be required, there was an estimate made of the needed alterations to any office space out there, and based on that we had approved it because it was needed to get it in place, to have the doors open potentially by October 1st. We know now that that's not what happened, because when the RFP was initially put out there was no suitable space found. So that put a delay in things, and that process of trying to find suitable space went on much longer than was initially anticipated. So when the plan was put together, there was no location, there was a system of space that was needed that we planned on and the estimates were based on.
So, number one, an RFP was issued to get the O and M in place, that's hiring of staff; two, based on that number of staff required, an estimate was made of what space requirements would be needed, and, based on that, an estimate for refitting had come forward; again, all on the plan that the doors would be open by October 1st. As a result and as we know now, that plan didn't come out as we had anticipated. So a decision was made based on a plan of events that we thought would occur. When the original timing of the completion of the RFP had come back and there was no suitable space, that threw a monkey wrench into the whole thing in that we were not able to complete what was planned. So there was a feeling that we had a plan in process, we were moving along with that plan, and, as many members are aware, office space here in Yellowknife is very tight, and the original RFP didn't work out. Thank you.
