Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Ramsay and Mr. Dent have covered some of the ground on this project. I should state from the outset that I, too, have some big concerns about this. On one hand, I appreciate the need to be part of a secure and responsible screening and security network of Canada, and the government and the travelling public in the Northwest Territories should accept some of the inconvenience and the cost of doing so. However, the scope of this project and the urgency in which it is being implemented speaks to some shortcomings in our system. I'd like to start with just getting a confirmation, Mr. Chairman, that the whole of the project as it is scoped out now has a total value of $14.6 million and that's made up of $4.6 million that CATSA will inject; $3.4 million that has already been spent; and $6.6 million that we're anticipating will come from the travelling public. So is it a $14.6 million overall project? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
