Thank you. Page 4-14, Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations, activity summary, corporate management, grants and contributions, grants, total grants, $300,000.

I heard 1.4 or 5 percent. If I’m wrong, please correct me at the next opportunity to the Minister. Where I’m going with this point, Madam Chair, is we had at our disposal opportunity money at 1.45 percent, but the government went out and increased our debt limit or our borrowing limit up to $800 million, which obviously is required, but we dissolved this amount of ability to borrow at 1.45 percent and I believe now, Madam Chair, if we can get confirmation, we’re now paying almost three times that interest rate for the very same money that we had at a third of that. Can we get some...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just some clarifications on some of the numbers on this page under the term “contract services and other expenses.” Can we get an explanation to the decrease of slightly under $2 million? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. DeLancey. Moving with questions, we have Ms. Bisaro.

I’ll take that as a comment, Mr. Bromley. Going back to Ms. Bisaro.

Page 2-27, Executive, information item, Cabinet support, Mr. Bromley.

There are none. Page 4-29, Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations, information item, work performed on behalf of others. Any questions?

Thank you. Yes, I have no problem clarifying. The 2011-2012 revised estimates of $11.874 million, main estimates proposed $9.295 million.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. If I could interject for a second, the Member, I’m sure, didn’t quite get the response he’s looking for. Would the Minister, through the Social Envelope Committee, make commitments to the Social Programs committee on this subject moving forward?

Thank you. Can I get the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort the witnesses into the House?

Thank you. If you would be kind enough to introduce your witnesses to the committee.
