Thank you, Madam Chair. Welcome, Mr. Speaker, and Board of Management. Just a clarification, I’m looking at the amortization of capital contributions. We had a $1,000 in 2011-2012, nothing in 2012-13 and we see the $1,000 return in the main estimates. I know it’s a small number, but it’s more the pattern of activity. Can we get an explanation of that amortization of capital?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. At least we’re getting down to the heart of the matter, and I think the Member for Hay River South said it, is will we look at an outside review process that we can look at finding efficiencies in design in our public sector?

I appreciate the Minister now clarifying, because I think I was a bit perplexed that this was an outside review. Coming from the private sector, we look at things a little differently. We look at efficiencies and scales, and you look at actual savings and design. The question that I need to ask is: Why can’t the public sector look at outside review to find efficiencies in our public service sector, especially in the city of Yellowknife? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. I didn’t hear a question in there, but we’ll allow Premier McLeod to respond.
