Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I think the question begs to be asked, well, why didn't we go to tender three years ago or four years ago when we knew this was the case? If you want the approval of this Assembly to do that, I'm looking down the row here and across the way and I'm sure the will would be there. If there's a need in Fort Simpson for office space, the desire and the will amongst the Members here to get that done would be there, but it just wasn't done, Mr. Chairman. I think that's the problem. It should have went to tender years ago, not arrive here on the floor of the House today in the state that it's in and I think that's the key point in this. I think the Minister still has an opportunity to go to tender. Thank you.
