Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wouldn't be adverse to going straight into the motion because I am going to support the motion to delete this item for a variety of reasons. I think other Members here today and yesterday have discussed how it is that we've arrived here at the 11th hour having to spend $3.5 million on a building that might have a life expectancy of two to four more years. It's a complete, in my mind, waste of money without a plan to address the office requirement needs in Fort Simpson. It doesn't sound like the Minister has a plan to do that. There's been a lot of talk about, well, it's not in the capital plan. Ultimately, whose responsibility is it that it's not in the capital plan? That's what I was trying to get at yesterday. I believe ultimately somebody's responsible and the Minister stated himself that consultation took place with the Member from there, the village, but one key important ingredient, Mr. Chairman, was there was never any consultation with the people who approve the spending in this government, and that's us. All of us. Here we are at the 11th hour with a gun to our head, like I said yesterday, and it's not fair, it's not appropriate and I will certainly be supporting the motion.
Also, while I've got the floor, I wanted to mention to the Minister I'm not sure where he got all the information on the numbers at the Deh Cho Hall, but, Mr. Minister, in my calculations you have about 8,700 square feet unaccounted for in your numbers if you do the math, and I challenge you to go back and look at the numbers. You're missing about 8,700 square feet of space according to your numbers and I'm not just making that up. With that, Mr. Chairman, I think we're covering a lot of ground we covered yesterday and I think that's important, but let's get on with the motion and let's have this out. Thank you.
