Mr. Speaker, I’d like to recognize two pages in the House from my constituency, Brooke Edwards and Steve Gruben, who are from Aklavik and who are here this week. I’d like to thank them for coming, and I hope they enjoy their stay. Mahsi.
We are on the Department of Public Works and Services, page 6, appropriation authority required: $6 million. Mr. Ramsay.
The Minister Responsible for the FMBS, Mr. Roland.
Mr. Speaker, also in one case the project was deferred until we went through a line item with the Premier in regard to an appropriation in which certain items were withdrawn from the budget because they weren’t classified as urgent.
I’d just like to ask the Premier: if they’re not classified as urgent, why are government departments putting out contracts, and yet we’re deferring projects in our budget process?
Department of Public Works and Services, appropriation authority required: $6,534,000. Ms. Bisaro.
