Thank you, Premier McLeod. Premier McLeod, do you have witnesses you would like to bring into the House?

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Page 2-21, Executive, activity summary, executive operations, operations expenditure summary. Mr. Yakeleya.

Seeing none, page 4-9, Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations, information item, revenue summary. Any questions?

Speaking about the Opportunities Fund, we know that that fund has wound down. This fund had an opportunity of people borrowing against it, or I guess we had the ability to borrow with it, to the tune of about 1.45 percent. With the increase in the borrowing limit, this increased our ability to borrow for large infrastructure. Can the Minister allude to what was the total value in terms of dollars available us with this Opportunities Fund when it was in our control? I’ll ask that first question, Madam Chair.

Could the department give us more details? Is this the long-term contract we have gone in with Blue Cross? Are there measures reporting for performance? Maybe a little bit more details in terms of what this new relationship with Blue Cross is all about.

Thank you. Page 8-32, Health and Social Services, information item, community health programs, active positions. Are there any questions?

Thank you. Page 2-11, Executive, action item, directorate, operations expenditures. Ms. Bisaro.

Page 2-23, Executive, information item, executive operations, active positions. Any questions? Being none, page 2-25, Executive, activity summary, Cabinet support, operations expenditure summary, $3.156 million. Does committee agree?

Thank you. Page 4-27. Mr. Blake.

I’m not sure if the word is legally binding or legally bound. It’s a bit confusing. The reason I’m asking that first question is that legally binding, when we first negotiated this price with Ruskin, there was obviously holdbacks involved. These are legal parts of large-scale projects. Anyone who builds houses or any type of infrastructure knows that. What’s happening now with these holdbacks? Are these being leveraged, and if not, why not?
