Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If they're for a two-year term, I don't know how you hire four people for $440,000. If you look at the Department of Health and Social Services at $110,000, which I know is a two-year term, but we know with certainty that we're going to need $550,000 more if they're all two-year terms. So why would we just come back and piecemeal this? Why don't you call it what it is and that is an investment of $1 million on new staff, instead of coming back next year? I don't know how we're going to deal with the $550,000 that's going to have to come back next year for these employees. I don't again see the coordination here. It seems to be coming at the last minute. Although it's much needed and I'll be the first to admit that it's needed, I think there has to be some more coordination and proper planning in that regard.

I know some of my colleagues brought this up earlier during question period, but how is it -- and I'd like the Minister to explain this to me -- there's $2.4 million in the budget for 2004-05 for the Territorial Treatment Centre here in Yellowknife. A whole year, a fiscal year lapses, that money doesn't get spent and here we are in this supplementary looking like we're going to carry over some money that was initially for the Territorial Treatment Centre and also we're going to take that $2.4 million that was initially earmarked for the Territorial Treatment Centre in 2004-05 and all of a sudden it appears in 2006-07 for the Dene K'onia facility in Hay River. I really am having a great deal of difficulty in trying to understand how a government, and we're part of this government...We approved the budget in 2004-05 for a certain capital expenditure. A whole year lapses, we're not informed, we're not consulted on those capital dollars that are now going in to renovate Dene K'onia.

Mr. Chairman, somebody owes us, on this side of the House, an explanation as to why that happens and how it can happen. To me it's like hocus-pocus. It's there one day, it's not the next, and we're not informed about it. The communication has to be there. We have to know what's going on. It's big dollars. It's not like it's $100,000 in capital money. It's $2.4 million going into a program that we know works here in Yellowknife and now it's not there. I think the Minister or his staff owes us an explanation on how that happens. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
