Thank you. I appreciate the Minister’s candor on the subject. Again, our congratulations go out to the town of Inuvik and the Children First organization for 80 percent of fundraising. That’s incredible.

As the Minister alluded, this is precedent setting and because the commitment from the government clearly indicates that policy will be forthcoming as a result of this precedent setting, it’s very, very difficult for us to look in our rear-view mirrors at where government may have not come forward. It is for those reasons, and those reasons alone, that this is precedent setting with new policy...

Thank you, Mr. Neudorf. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Minister Lafferty. Committee, we are on page 8-7, Education, Culture and Employment, activity summary, education and culture, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $2.329 million.

Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It appears that we’re actually moving in the right direction and I appreciate the Minister’s offer, which leads me to my last question. Should the Government Ops standing committee come back to this House and to the Minister with specific revisions, if we’ve done our due diligence with privacy legislation, would the Minister comply with such recommendations?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Minister Lafferty. Moving on to the second round of questioning I have Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Neudorf. Mr. Bromley…(inaudible)…

I appreciate that. I’m going to be looking for my glasses next time for that question. The criteria, which I again hear is on-line, and I’ll definitely make the effort to do so. The concern I have is the fact that in some cases we’ve got departments, like, some of our health authorities are running deficits. In some cases our health authorities aren’t even complying with the financial act by reporting their annual reports on time, yet we’re giving out bonuses in these areas.

Can the Minister indicate to me and the House how it is that we can give out a bonus, when really some of these criteria...

Thank you, Mr. Blake. Mr. Ramsay.
