Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. I’ll take that last bit as a comment. Committee, we’re on page 13, highways, not previously authorized, $42.258 million. Does committee agree?

Madam Chair, I appreciate the deputy minister for clarifying that. The second question I have in this category is regarding the Ingraham Trail or the Giant Mine remediation, or we refer it to as the Highway No. 4 bypass area. There is a $17 million allocation. We were led to believe in the maps of distant past that this $17 million was earmarked from the Infrastructure Canada money. This was federal money assigned to enhance infrastructure across the Northwest Territories. It was part of a larger number that was earmarked for many other communities, townships and hamlets throughout the...

Total department, not previously authorized, $869,000.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. For that answer we’re going to go to the Minister of Transportation, Minister Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Tabled Document 72-17(4), Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 2, 2013-2014, and would like to report progress with one motion being adopted, that consideration of Tabled Document 72-17(4) is concluded, and that the House concur in those estimates and that an appropriation bill be based thereon be introduced without delay. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

Madam Chair, so it is not added to the project cost, it is part of the project cost. I will have to analyze Hansard tomorrow to find out what exactly that meant.

Again, I am extremely confused and probably somewhat disappointed again with the way we are handling our large-scale projects, the way we are handling remediation work and our demolition work, and how we kind of peel it off and call it something else, and we don’t look at the total project as it is in terms of what did this project cost taxpayers. I will continue my championing of the system to show that we have to do things better. I...

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Committee, I just want to remind Members here, we are dealing with infrastructure, we are dealing with the relocation of the office. Questions here today should be operational in need. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Mr. Bromley.

Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Again, I appreciate it. I didn’t quite hear what the final total is in the response. I did hear we were adding some sports facility equipment, which begs to ask my next question in terms of the whole project cost. Now, we’ve got policies that say, well, you can’t add the remediation work to the total asset, and you can’t depreciate as a whole asset, but it clearly begs the question, we’re removing buildings, we’re adding infrastructure, we’re adding infrastructure that is being used by the school, but yet it’s not adding to the whole capital cost of that project or...
