Page 2-17, activity summary, Executive, Ministers’ offices, operations expenditure summary, $3.187 million. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Premier. So, committee, page 2-29, activity summary, Cabinet support, operations expenditure summary, $3.054 million. Agreed?

Page 1-23, activity summary, Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, operations expenditure summary, $372,000.

I hope we don’t have to wait until somebody asks us to do something when we see a need out there. Obviously there’s been considerable press, as I’ve mentioned: radio coverage, newspaper coverage, electronic coverage. I was asking what initiative we have taken to step out and meet these people halfway. Perhaps the response I got means that we haven’t done that and I would ask if the Premier would be willing to get our government to actually do that, to recognize the citizen effort here and offer to meet with them.

Thank you, Minister. Next on my list I have Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, committee. Does committee agree to go to detail?

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Thank you, committee, and we are... Sorry, Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Does committee agree?

I appreciate the Minister’s remarks there and his reference to these as alternative energy dollars. Can the Minister commit that the $3 million will remain as dollars that will be put towards alternative energy, as he calls it? I would say renewable energy. Energy efficiency.

Thank you, committee. Minister Roland.
