Mr. Chairman, I am just wondering; as I noted on the previous page, we have gifted the corporation with $7 million and I don’t see any reflection in GNWT share of the cost of operation of the corporation. I wonder if the Minister could explain that discrepancy. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. Roland.

I’d like to call Committee of the Whole back to order. We will proceed, as agreed, with the Department of Executive. I’ll start by asking the Minister if he’d like to bring in any witnesses.

Thank you, Minister. Committee, we’re on page 2-21, Department of Executive, activity summary, executive operations, operations expenditure summary, $7.010 million. Mr. Beaulieu.

I guess our high volatility is certainly consistent over the years. I recognize, though, that there is probably not much we can do about this unless we ever get serious about corporate financial regulations on Wall Street, so I won’t go any further on that one.

I do want to note, though, Mr. Chairman, that I recognize we have lost $3.5 million in revenue last year and this fiscal year as we give up the power subsidy dividend that we always collected to the Power Corporation. It is just a note. I will leave it at that. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Is committee agreed?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. Roland.
