Mr. Chairman, thank you. I appreciate the Minister's very patient explanation of all this stuff, but you know, he's pointed out one of the obvious stages in here, gaps, that for whatever reason or cause the routine step of getting this into the business plan was missed. One of the steps that I'm familiar with and very comfortable with when it comes to getting things into the business plan is bringing an issue or problem or situation before standing committee. I sit on the Standing Committee on Social Programs, which has oversight responsibility for ECE. I do not recall in the four or five years that I've been on that committee, Mr. Chairman, any mention whatsoever of a situation in Fort Simpson where the Deh Cho Hall is going to require some capital help. Nothing. Reminiscent, Mr. Chairman, of a certain situation regarding a treatment centre here in Yellowknife where the decision was made way off page without the consultation of the standing committee in what was going on. These are the kinds of things that I need on my side, my colleagues need in order for us to make good decisions, responsible decisions of which we're going to be held to account for taxpayers' money. That's what's missing here.
The question that I want to put to the Minister or the client department is to confirm or correct me in advising of whether or not any item was ever brought before Standing Committee on Social Programs regarding Deh Cho Hall.
