Thank you, Madam Chair. I am directing my question to the line entry of over $3 million for the Sir Alexander Mackenzie and Samuel Hearne School replacement in Inuvik.

Madam Chair, for the record, the facility itself is a great facility. I had a chance to tour that with a number of our Regular Members. I think the school and people of Inuvik should be very proud of that infrastructure. However, my job as a Member here is to look at all cost expenditures. My job here is to look at protecting the public purse. So, again, no disrespect in my questions, but they need to be asked and this is why I’m...

Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. Again, I’ll treat that as a comment. Colleagues, if it’s okay, committee, I’d like to redirect committee back to Appropriation Supplementation 2013-14. We are on page 15. We last left off on economic diversification, not previously authorized, $158,000. Mr. Hawkins.

Mr. Bromley.

Thank you. Does committee agree that we have concluded consideration of Tabled Document 72-17(4), Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 2, 2013-2014?

Just to close my comments with respect to EMR, with this being a supp for EMR, will we be looking at a further budget line in the upcoming infrastructure budget in this fall? Are we going to be seeing the completion here of this full EMR program in the fall sitting of 2013?

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. We’ll take that as a comment. I didn’t hear a question there. Thank you very much. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Miltenberger.

Wildlife, not previously authorized, $292,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Madam Chair. I also agree with my colleague from Weledeh here to a certain degree. There is a definite need. What we’re seeing here today is just a very small glimpse of what potentially might happen. We’re hearing numbers from the Minister of $20 million investment in the future, but we’re talking a much more larger project than that moving forward.

I have grave concerns myself as to what are we going to do in the interim. We’ve heard the word “flagship,” and I believe it is our flagship in our delivery of premier health care services in the Northwest Territories.

That said, that...

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. For that we’ll go to the ITI Minister, Mr. Ramsay.
