Statements in Debates
Again, you’re saying you’re coming forward with a supp. Right now there are only two parties who have signed on with the government, which is the Metis and Inuvialuit. So is the supp only going to pertain to funding that’s going to be required by those two organizations to participate going forward, or will there be dollars available for those other regional leaders that you mentioned that are out there who are members of the Northern Leaders’ Forum?
Mr. Roland.
We are moving on to page 5-15, information item, deputy minister’s office, active positions.
Agreed. Does committee agree that we’ve concluded the Department of Finance?
Last question and I can include both items. Is there an inflation factor built into the funding? It seems like it’s a level number. Is there any way, based on inflation, that you increase it over a period of time or is it just a flat line?
Ms. Melhorn.
Page 5-29, activity summary, office of the chief information officer, operations expenditure summary, $1.844 million.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. With regard to operations expenditure summary with regard to devolution, you’ve got $460,000. I just thought I heard the Premier making reference that he’s going to come forward for a supp. I’m wondering what that $460,000 for devolution is going to be spent on under devolution or program delivery detail. Have you identified how that $460,000 is going to be expended?
Mr. Roland.
We are on page 5-13, activity summary, deputy minister’s office, operations expenditure summary, $66.122 million.
