Thank you, Madam Chair. Dealing with Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 2, there are a few things that I wanted to get on record as saying. I guess I'll start with the $523,000 to fund the shortfall and costs associated with the upgrade of PeopleSoft 8.9. As the Minister and other Ministers have heard earlier in this session, in fact if you go back to 1997 when PeopleSoft was first looked at as a product for the Government of the Northwest Territories, the government has spent approximately $8 million on PeopleSoft in total and that's implementation costs and the costs upfront. It's a substantial amount of money, Madam Chair. Given the problems that we've had with PeopleSoft and the implementation in the last little while, I am just wondering what assurances the Minister can have that an additional half a million dollars is going to correct the issues that are at play with PeopleSoft, and when can the employees expect that this system will be up and running without any kinks in it and be able to be fully utilized, Madam Chair.
