Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the Cabinet has reviewed this. There has been discussion on a number of occasions when the request was made to extend this. That's why we've given it a timeline of March 31st, 2007, in the possibility that there might be an announcement on infrastructure programs from the federal government. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'd just like a little bit more background on this. If the budget was $500,000, why are we looking at another additional $1.5 million to fund this upgrade? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the original timeline of this work was scheduled over a two-year period. The total figure for that was $1 million. So we've requested the funding be brought forward to this year, as well as the additional costs of the contract itself. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Is this type of expenditure and upgrades to PeopleSoft something that's going to require a financial injection every couple of years? When are we going to reach the point when we don't have to put as much money into upgrades on this system? Thank you, Madam Chair.
