You know, okay, I'm really trying to keep an open mind and an open pair of ears on this, but, Mr. Chairman, the department asked for permission to spend $2.4 million in Yellowknife. It could have well been any other project, any other community. Then along came, for whatever reason, a change in plan, but nothing was said. We approved that project to happen in Yellowknife. Now they're coming back without any prior information or notice or advisories to us at all and saying we want to re-approve the same project -- in fact, for more money, almost 50 percent more money -- in a different community. I don't want to get into the specifics of this yet, Mr. Chairman, because we will later on, but the process, the protocol, the conventions that we need to continue operating in a consensus style of government are being disabused.
