I guess it relates to this, too, so I’ll ask it. In that contract registry and reporting system it shows $1.238 million under contracted services. Now, I know there’s only a portion of it that shows up there, but under the operations expenditure listing for the department, that number is $1.224 million. So we’re about $14,000 out, and I’m just wondering why the actuals that show up in the 2008-09 Main Estimates in this book don’t correlate with the contract registry. It’s out by about $14,000, and I’m just wondering why that is.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. We’ll open the floor up now for general comments. Or actually, no, Mr. Minister, did you want to bring in some witnesses?

I’d like to call Committee of the Whole to order and ask what the wish of committee is. Mrs. Groenewegen.

I’d like to thank the committee, the Minister and his staff, as well, for being with us this afternoon. Does the committee agree we have the Sergeant-at-Arms escort the witnesses out?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to join my colleagues Ms. Bisaro and Ms. Lee today and speak about Aven Cottages Territorial Dementia Facility that will officially open tomorrow, February 19th.

I believe the facility is very strong proof of what is possible when people are willing to work together. The facility has been talked about for many years and is finally on the verge of its opening, which is very exciting for the city of Yellowknife and this Territory.

The facility will be a great asset in the services this Territory has to offer seniors with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia...

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Anything further, Mr. Yakeleya? We’re on page 7-23, Public Works and Services, activity summary, petroleum products, operations expenditure summary, $2.134 million.
