Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Can I have order please. I have Mr. Bell, please.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Next on the list I have Mr. Michael McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. I think we are going a little bit ahead, but maybe I will get the Minister to answer.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to thank my colleague Mr. Yakeleya for putting forward this motion. I think the motion is straightforward in terms of what we’re expecting the government to do. A lot of private people appreciate the 700 kilowatt subsidy in the small communities…(inaudible)... Although it’s not enough, I think we can live with it, but to a certain point. Also it’s the small businesses in the communities. One hundred kilowatts, maybe that’s not enough for them also. So I think that motion that we’re putting forward today is important for both private and residential users...

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Mr. Ramsay.

Total department, not previously authorized, $8,000.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess my follow-up then is about, in the unedited transcripts, Mr. Speaker, he’s indicated that, again, I’ll say it one more time, "there is also extra capital money, $25 million a year in there. We don’t intend to use big chunks for that money." I think I’d like to ask him, like, in my interpretation of that, Mr. Speaker, is that the money there for infrastructure funding, that somehow that the government will use some of that money for part of this project? Can he explain that to me whether or not that’s what he intended to imply? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Mr. Roland.

Total department, not previously authorized, $2.851 million.
