Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Committee, we are on total department of $28.111 million.

Does committee agree that we’ve considered Tabled Document 87-17(5) and are concluded?

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. Aumond.

I understand the planning side of it. I’m just wondering about the capital expenditures to Stanton now that we know that we’re going to do a major retrofit to it. At what time do we say, okay, we’re not going to retrofit anything anymore because over the next five years we’re going to tear it all down? I guess what is the strategy going forward when we’re implementing capital projects into that facility when we’re planning to do a major retrofit to it?

The Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment, capital infrastructure expenditures, minerals and petroleum resources, not previously authorized, $278,000; tourism and parks, not previously authorized, $1.597 million. Total department, not previously authorized, $1.875 million.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Committee, Education, Culture and Employment, capital investment expenditures, total department, not previously authorized, $2.803 million.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I have a couple questions about the budget. Obviously, the Hay River Health Centre amount, indications are that the project is on course, on budget. I’m just wondering why there would be a carry-over there. I know we shut down for the winter, but that was planned, I thought.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. The motion is on the floor. The motion is in order. To the motion.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Mr. Bromley.

The other question I have is with the financial part of it and us having borrowing limits and stuff like that. It is actually probably a savings concern. Are we saving money in interest costs and stuff like that when we don’t spend all the money that is required under the infrastructure budget?
