Thank you, Madam Chair. One of the things we've done with Public Works and Services is, to meet our targets of reduction scenarios, we initially started out in this term of the 15th Assembly to deal with our reductions through attrition where, when we had people leaving or retiring, we would not fill those positions. So through that time period, we've also let go individuals across the board, whether it's in the South Slave or in headquarters or in the northern part of the territory. What you find in Inuvik with these two projects is that these projects are replacing existing facilities. They're not new facilities. In fact, their time line or life line has been exceeded, and these projects have been on the books, but because of our fiscal situation, have continually been bumped back to the point where we find ourselves now in Inuvik of having to do emergency repairs to keep one of the facilities operational. That's why you see this coming forward as it is. Later on in this supplementary appropriation, you'll see some changes to the capital plan, as well, to try and address this situation. Thank you.
