Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I would just like a little information on page 9 with the special warrants under regional operations. First, I believe this is the only special warrant in this complement package, and I wish to acknowledge that. As Regular Members, we don't like special warrants, so I am very pleased to see that. I should say up front, as well, is that I have no concern with us fronting the money because I see it as an issue with the short term, whereas the repairs need to be done to ensure that the community of Whati gets their community hall up and running and we can follow it up with a contractor. I am curious on why this came through the special warrant process. I ask that because I was in Whati when I was leading the northern group of the AOC consultation. That was at the beginning of September. I saw it for myself how bad and extensive the damage was. I am only curious on why this would be through...This problem has been known for a little while. I am just wondering why it has come through the special warrant process instead of the regular approval process like everything else is in the supplementary appropriation. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
