Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just before we leave this area here, just so we get an understanding of the full-cost accounting, this $1.645 million that is considered not previously authorized, what percentage of this number is in relationship to the overall costs of heating fuel and electricity for public housing? What percentage does this represent? Thank you.

Mr. Chair, given some of the numbers that we just heard here, about 40 percent of this $100,000 allocation will be for travel, and he talked about a private function that is occurring here. I didn’t hear a dollar figure that was set aside for that function. Would the Minister like to share that number, please?

The Member for Range Lake is satisfied. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’ll reserve my question until we get to that other supp.

My second question has to do with individual dentists. Did we receive any individual dentists submit any type of notation, letter, e-mail or phone call that spoke against this amendment that we have before us today?

What was supposed to be fairly clear has now become a little bit muddy. The spirit and intent sounds like it was clearly laid out by the members of the Legislative Building Society. That they were to carry out their own bylaws to spend the overage, but then, in turn, wrote a cheque to the GNWT here, to the government here, to say now spend it in the intent that we originally designed.

Every antenna that I have goes off, going, why would they do that. I think they’re doing that because this topic became a political hot button. They are aware that some of that spending wasn’t going into the true...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that consideration of Tabled Document 135-17(4), Supplementary Appropriation Act (Operations Expenditures), No. 3, 2013-2014, be now concluded and that a Tabled Document 135-17(4) be reported and recommended for further consideration in formal session through the form of an appropriation bill. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to continue on some of the questioning that was brought forward by Mr. Hawkins, so I can get a complete understanding about the allocation of this money, its original intent, and whether we are following within the spirit of that intent.

Now, this money or this whole framework was the Legislative Building Society. They created a framework, basically a program to which there was money invested and there could have been potential surplus at the end of that 20-year cycle. I want to get just a general sense. What were the original bylaws or what was the original...

Mr. Chair, if the Minister can also maybe give a clarification. Out of the $13.894 million, what dollar figure from that was due to acquiring and subcontracting other air support other than what we have currently in our fleet? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I guess just to pinpoint a little bit of the time flying by that the Minister has just indicated, he has indicated earlier that in October 2014 we should be seeing some type of legislative proposal on this side of the House. Can the Minister indicate as to when we might see a draft proposal at its earliest?
