Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Motor Vehicles Act does not regulate off-road vehicles. Again, this would go back to the ATV Act for the off-road vehicles.

I’m going to ask the deputy minister to provide more detail on that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. To my left is Russell Neudorf, deputy minister of Transportation. To my immediate right is Steve Loutitt, director of road licensing and safety, Transportation. To my far left is Ian Rennie, legislative counsel, Department of Justice.

Amendments proposed under Bill 5 will improve driver and motor vehicle services provided to the public and will improve the safety of our transportation system.

The department is in the process of expanding the High Risk Drivers Program. Through this program, the Department of Transportation will address the risks to public safety posed by drivers that are continually caught driving while impaired or engaged in other high risk activities such as excessive speeding or reckless driving. The changes proposed in Bill 5 will allow the registrar more options and flexibility regarding driver’s licence...

Mr. Speaker, determining whether or not this facility will be replaced, again, will be based on the judgment on whether or not the school can be brought up to the standard of the day, with a certain percentage towards what it would cost to replace the whole entire school. But at 50 years old, I imagine that it would be a very close examination with the Department of Education on whether or not it would be more feasible to replace the school. Thank you.

Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. I don’t have that information here with me. I understand that the Member was concerned about the road being very close to the school. I will have the Department of Public Works contact the administrator of the school and see if there is anything that can be done immediately to address that issue. Thank you.

Thank you. 2009-10 our deferred maintenance was booked at $470 million. As of today, deferred maintenance backlog is at $290 million.

Thank you. We have not completed a complete evaluation and cost estimate on the damage that may have been incurred by the Louis Cardinal ferry during the time we were attempting to continue to run it round season. We did put $400,000 worth of capital into the ferry in order to make it possible to run all season. Thank you.

The change is in procurement, the Technology Services Centre and also in property management, office space and so on. As far as more detail in those three areas, I’d like to go to Director Steve Lewis to give you a more detailed response in those three areas. Thank you.

Thank you. I will get more detail with my deputy, but the total expenditure in 2012-13, of which we were drawing the $1.48 million from, was $28,793,460.
