Page 4, supplementary estimates, Human Resources, employee services, not previously authorized, $618,000.
Let’s move along to our next department on page 11, supplementary estimates for Environment and Natural Resources, environment, not previously authorized, negative $650,000. Mr. Bromley.
That’s not consistent with what we heard during the business planning process this time. We were under the impression that the department was going to work towards the implementation of five. With one already in place, that means four more. Meaningful work towards implementing four more for a total of five during the 2011-12 fiscal year. I’m curious why that’s gone, why that’s no longer a commitment of the Minister as outlined in the business plans.
Page 5, Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 5, 2010-2011, Health and Social Services, capital investment expenditures, health services programs, not previously authorized, negative $150,000.

Page 2-30, Executive, activity summary, Cabinet support, grants and contributions, grants, total grants, $219,000.
Moving along to page 4-13, Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations, information item, corporate management, active positions.
To the borrowing limit, the Minister indicated that we’ve made lots of suggestions to the federal government with respect to our thoughts on the borrowing limit. I’d be happy to hear what some of those suggestions were. With respect to the Shared Services Centre, I’ve been reading the Bear Facts so I knew those were going on, but I know there are some people out there who are confused or they’re not as comfortable, and if there’s anything we can do to give those staff some more assurances of where we are, it wouldn’t go amiss. Anything we can do to help ease some of the anxiety that’s out...
Okay, I will now go to Premier Roland for a response to the general comments.
Thank you, Mr. Krutko. That sounds like a little bit of a hypothetical question, but I’ll go to the Premier for his thoughts on the question.
