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.

Agreed. Page 5-34, information item, work performed on behalf of others.

I’m kidding about 1921 there, but that was the issue in regard to the whole area in regard to the supplementary health funding and everybody questioning the Metis Health Benefits Program. The program is pretty specific in regard to the criteria that we use for people to basically access that program in which there are certain types of criteria and one of them is that you had to show that you were part of the 1921 group in regard to your membership. Again, the Metis locals still have a role to play in the Northwest Territories especially when it comes to Metis health benefits and also in regard...

Sergeant-at-Arms, escort the witnesses in.

For the record, Mr. Minister, can you introduce your witnesses.

Information item, page 5-27, office of the comptroller general, active positions.

With regard to the operations expenditure summary I note under contract services you have $423,000. Is there a chance we could get a breakdown of that?
