Mr. Chairman, the revolving fund is something we can control as to what the inputs and outputs are for this program. We have purchased all of our fuel for the summer resupply. We have purchased the majority of our fuel for winter’s resupply. We look, as the Member raised, to the future. We expect we are going to see rising costs, but that should not affect our revolving fund. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Both projects went well. We were very happy with the work that was done with communities and they are basically all complete.

Mr. Chairman, the study is ongoing right now. We have expectations to be finalized in April. Then we will do an analysis of what the findings are and decide on the next steps from there.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We do have a document that lists all our employees. We could provide it verbally or we could provide it to the Member in written format.

Yes, Mr. Chairman, we are considering other products, more specifically wood pellets, and we are doing the assessment now. It’s 90 percent complete and we will be having the results in April.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On my left I have Paul Guy, deputy minister of Public Works and Services, and on my right I have Ms. Laurie Gault, director of the Technical Services Centre.

It is our practice to share the information once the reports have been compiled in terms of what hazardous material may be in the building, any outstanding issues that the facility may need to address while doing demolition.

Yes, I do, Mr. Chairman.

I am pleased to present the Department of Public Works and Services’ main estimates for the fiscal year 2011-12.

The main estimates propose a departmental operations and maintenance budget for 2011-12 of $93 million which represents an increase of $224,000, or 2 percent, in O and M funding over 2010-11. In addition, the department has an approved infrastructure investment plan of $14.3 million for 2011-12.

Public Works and Services is an essential partner in the achievement of government-wide goals, while achieving the best value for government, communities, businesses...

Mr. Chairman, yes, everything is where everything is supposed to be on this project and the land has now been reverted back to Municipal and Community Affairs and I believe they’re having discussions with the municipality. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, once again, the request hasn’t come to my office. I believe the request did come to our government, but in the life of the 15th Assembly, so it is not something I am currently reviewing. The request I believe at the time went to the Finance Minister’s office.

Mr. Speaker, if there is a suggestion that the Member is making, we can certainly consider them and bring it to the appropriate department. There are a number of rules that have to be followed that we have agreed to as a government with the Commissioner’s position and tax laws and federal requirements that we have to abide by...
