Thank you, Mr. Braden. Can I have order please. I have Mr. Bell, please.

Sorry, Mr. Chairman, I don't have the detail of the scope of work to compare those two projects in front of me, but if memory serves, that $70,000 is finishing off that project in Fort Providence. There was more money -- I don't have the detail in front of me -- spent, and I can't tell you things like how many shower stalls would go into the other shower building, but I can certainly endeavour to get that detail and provide it to committee.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Along I guess a similar line here, we're looking at a budget item for a heliport for the North Slave region at $537,000. Are we buying the helicopter too, Mr. Chairman? Perhaps my understanding of what's required for a heliport is a little short sighted on this, but a half a million dollars? From what I understand, a heliport is basically a landing pad. Maybe the Minister could assist me there, too, in the scope of this project.
