Thank you, Madam Chair. I haven't been given a real comforting answer by the Minister. If he spends half a million in additional money in implementing PeopleSoft 8.9, what assurances do we have that we are not wasting another half a million dollars and next year we aren't going to waste some more? We've come to a certain point with PeopleSoft. We've spent $8 million and it's still not working. I think at some point in time somebody is going to have to answer some questions. Why isn't it working? Who customized it? Why did it happen and why are we still paying the price? Somebody has to take responsibility for it and somebody has to provide this House with some answers. There has been $8 million spent over the past 10 years and we are spending another half a million. To what end, is what I am getting at, Madam Chair, to what end are we spending this half a million and should we be looking at an entirely new system? Let's start from scratch. Why should we be paying good money after bad and are we doing that? Are we paying good money after bad with PeopleSoft, Madam Chair?
