Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Minister McLeod.

I don’t think it’s news that many of us on committee have been suggesting that the Canada Building Project and stimulation dollars should have been going to projects like this that save us on our high operational costs of energy. I think that was a major missed opportunity. I think, I guess I basically hope that the department will be aggressive in getting after this and nailing this down. As I say, the building season’s here very soon and we don’t seem to know yet whether we have those dollars. I’m not very hopeful yet again for this project.

I’d like to ask the Minister how many employees we...

Thank you, Minister. Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Committee, we’re on page 11-21, Transportation, activity summary, highways, operations expenditure summary, $58.094 million.

Thank you, Minister. I’d ask the Sergeant-at-Arms, if committee agrees...

Mr. Chairman, did we comment to try and get clarification that we are not a provincial government? We are a consensus government, a territorial government, and all MLAs need to be able to contribute to decisions made on these projects. Was that clarified to Mr. Pollard? My understanding is that this was probably a one-off sort of process this time hopefully and that other projects will not necessarily follow the review panel process. We need to be clear. I am wondering if the Minister managed to get that input to Mr. Pollard.

Does committee agree that we go to detail?
