Moving on to page 15. Health and Social Services, Capital Investment Expenditure, Program Delivery Support, not previously authorized: $2.38 million.

Bill 18, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 1, 2008–2009, Health and Social Services, Capital Investment Expenditures, Program Delivery Support, not previously authorized: $2.38 million, approved.

Okay. As we agreed, the next item we’ll deal with is Bill 12, An Act to Amend the Human Rights Act. With that, I’ll ask Mr. Ramsay if he has any opening remarks in regard to Bill 12.

I’d like to ask the Minister if he can also commit to me a date and time for the meeting in Aklavik. We were looking at July, somewhere in the second week. Does he have a date nailed down for the residents of Aklavik that will allow us, by way of having a public meeting, to discuss this issue publicly? Does the Minister have a date at hand for a public meeting?

Would the Minister of FMBS respond to the question asked previously.

Total Department, not previously authorized: $40.828 million.

Bill 18, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 1, 2008–2009, Transportation, Total Department: $40.828 million, approved.

Does the committee agree that we’ll go back to clause 16?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services. It’s with regard to my Member’s statement. The question is: why is there such a disparity with regard to programs and services in the larger centres and the smaller communities?

Thanks for your patience, Mrs. Groenewegen. On the sixth line under “striking out ‘89,752,000’ and substituting ‘88,649,000,’” we thought we heard you say $86 million. So just for verification, could you repeat that section?
