Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under devolution negotiations, I am just wondering if the federal government is coming forward with an equal amount as the Government of the Northwest Territories amount of $40,000. I am just wondering why we would not try to get more funding in that area in an effort to get more money out of the federal government to help with the devolution negotiations. I am not sure to what extent they would match our money, but if we could arrive at a deal with the aboriginal governments in the Territory on devolution and resource sharing, I think we should be looking at...

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to thank the Premier for that response, but I didn’t really get an answer that was satisfactory. Does the Minister of the various departments that’s giving out the contract, do they get involved in the decision to sole-source a contract to a former deputy minister? I think that’s a very straightforward question, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

The department starts on page 5-7, operations expenditure summary. If I could just ask if we could defer this until the end.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. McLeod. Mr. Guy.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Mr. Minister.
