Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I find that comment, Mr. Roland, very interesting, as well. Last week when we had the Minister...Well, I’m not quite sure if I can mention that. From what I understand, Mr. Chairman, the waivers were to be in place last week and if the Minister’s here before us today saying these waivers aren’t in place, another week has gone by, thousands more dollars have been lost and I’d like to ask the Minister where the waivers are and when we are going to get on with this. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. We’re going to go to Mr. Pokiak, who has one quick question, and then I’m going to call for a short 10-minute break. Thank you, gentlemen. I know you’ve been there for quite some time. So one quick question from Mr. Pokiak and then we’ll take a break.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I know the Minister has heard me in the House question the Sirius Diamonds loan guarantee at length last week and again this week. I’m not done with that issue either, Madam Chair, and I will be bringing that issue back before the House again before too long.

I had some questions on this and the first one I’d like to ask is, when the supplementary appropriation came before the House last year it was for $231,000, if I remember correctly. I’m wondering where FMBS got the other $2.7 million to cover off the $3 million loss that they had originally made known to this...

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Minister.
