Mr. Speaker, the issue of the office building as the Member has raised here was debated during the infrastructure budget process. It did come up again this morning. When we were up in Inuvik, the Minister responsible informed the leadership that he was at the stage of going out to a public RP process and informed them today that, in fact, did go out just recently. We would be looking at what options are available, but the simple fact is this process has been out there for quite some time. In fact, both organizations put in unsolicited proposals and neither was accepted at that stage. The government went out on its own proposal once before and that was for a lease option and there was no take-up on that proposal. It was felt that we needed to get moving. There were a couple of years in this process. That is why the department went for a design build approach and have gone the method they have. Thank you.
