Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as I stated earlier, the money did not disappear. The authority to spend the money was given and the money was not spent. The authority remains on that project and the substantiation of that project, and was identified in the infrastructure acquisition plan in the 2004-05 one under CAP 14. It was identified, it's there, it hasn't changed, it has not disappeared and remains. I guess that's where the grey area that some have referred to may be setting up, because the money is still there under that project. It has not been taken away, it has not been removed, it didn't lapse.
Every year from 2002-03 or 2003-04 it has been asked and has received approval to be carried over and carried over again. So this project has been carried over for two years, and now, at this point, the Minister has come forward and requested a change to the project. But the dollars are still identified under that project.
Until this House approves otherwise, the dollars will remain under that project. If the Minister then is not going to proceed with that work, then he would have to inform the committees and Members why he's not proceeding with that project. But until we get authority for the change, it has not changed.
The direction at first phase has been brought forward to Cabinet and has been agreed to move in this direction, and now we have to seek the approvals. So it hasn't changed, the money hasn't disappeared, it's still there identified under children's Territorial Treatment Centre, Yellowknife. Thank you.
