Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Respecting committee's normal process here of saving detailed or specific questions to that item on the page, I will not be talking specifically to the Territorial Treatment Centre project, but it sets the context for the questions that I have and that is related to what Mr. Ramsay was speaking about and questions earlier today in the House.
We have protocols that we have worked hard to develop in this House and in this consensus approach that we try to take here. As plans are formulated, developed and eventually approved in this Assembly and anticipated and expected in our communities, when things for whatever reason -- and usually there is a good reason -- are delayed or changed, our expectation and our protocols and our conventions have been that the departments and Ministers will come back to those MLAs in those communities and give at least a status report or some indication of what's going on.
In this case here, we had an approval for a $2.4 million expenditure on a building here in Yellowknife. It didn't happen. Months went by before we learned about it and here we are today. The question I'd like to pose is on the protocol and convention that we have come to expect here. I wanted to ask the Minister what is Cabinet's guideline for when Members, when MLAs, are to be advised that a project is not going to proceed as planned? What are the triggers that Cabinet uses to say, oh, okay, we'd better go and tell somebody?
