Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’m not debating the expenditure. Given the fact that it is going to extend the highway two more weeks, I think it is probably money well spent. I would just like to see it maybe being more of a permanent fixture and the fact that maybe the Department of Transportation budgets for it and tries to get the road extended until April 1st next year and the years going forward because of all the activity that is happening in the region. That would be my suggestion. Thank you.

Clause 5.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. According to the numbers that I have and other Members have, the ambulance services debt would account for $178,000 out of the $2 million. I am wondering if the Minister can clarify those numbers for me. Thank you.

Does the committee agree to go back to clause 1?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am just wondering if the Minister could perhaps give us a bit of a better breakdown of what the additional $311,000 is for. All that it states here is the Mackenzie Valley winter road; it doesn’t have any detail of what the expenditure is for.

Clause 3.

Clause 2.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. What was the reason again? Was it strictly the Social Programs committee that wanted it to come forward this way to Committee of the Whole?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Does the Minister know what the GNWT spends on an annual basis in terms of fuel? What do we spend on an annual basis for everything?

Clause 1.
