Statements in Debates
Okay. If it’s agreeable to committee, we’ll stand down the Legislative Assembly and move on to the Financial Management Board Secretariat. Is that okay until the Speaker is prepared to come before the House?
Mr. Chairman, just restating that. Basically, $1.3 million has been expended for 2008–2009, which is this fiscal year. Next fiscal year, 2009–2010, we’re expending $6 million. Then future years, 2010–2011, will come in at $5.7 million. Is that the schedule we’re now on?
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Aumond mentioned that they were approved for $500,000 in the previous budget. Could you tell me exactly what the $500,000 was spent on, and has it been expended?
The Minister of Finance.
In regard to your question, Mrs. Groenewegen, are you requesting that someone, either the Speaker or someone from his office, come before the House to explain the situation we see here by way of infrastructure for the Legislative Assembly?
Mr. Chair, can Mr. Aumond give us the breakdown in regard to what the capital costs are going to be over the next four years?
Interjection.
Can the deputy minister tell me what the government’s plans are to dispose of these hazardous materials that are in that facility? There is a cost in regard to disposal. Has the cost to remediate this site been taken into consideration?
Mr. Aumond.
The first department, Legislative Assembly, page 1-2, we’ll defer. Carry on to 1-4, Office of the Clerk, Activity Summary, Infrastructure Investment Summary, Total Infrastructure Investment Summary: $130,000. Mrs. Groenewegen.
With that, I’d suggest that we defer this department until we receive that information.
