Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister has been well aware, since the initial announcement in June of last year, that this transit money was coming. The Minister is also aware, because he just pointed out, that in November, seven months ago, that the deal was being processed. So now we are talking about March of this year and who knows what else is going to be the next stumbling block. So obviously the Minister is probably glad to see him here to help straighten him up. We have three problems. The first one is Yellowknife has the only transit system; the second is the federal money was earmarked for existing transit systems; and, thirdly, we know this money has been in existence for over a year. Again, I have made that point. So what is the obvious stumbling block, from MACA's point of view, of defining what a transit system is, when I can show him if we go outside here? I will show him a bus that goes by. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
