Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the area that was raised earlier about the third-party accountability framework, what we’ve done in the Financial Management Board, trying to deal with the concerns about forced growth in some of these areas, as we established third-party funding criteria and established the three categories. The first category involves those agencies or boards that are legislatively mandated for the provision of core public programs and services. So that would be the first area that we would look at. As well in that area we look at cost elements that are highly defined...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, for the details of this change, maybe we can go to Minister Miltenberger on that. But it is common practice for the government, when it does lease facilities to make changes to those facilities for our own requirements, that we fund those changes. This particular amount that’s allocated and requested is also being covered off by the agreement with the federal government, but for more details on the specific case, Minister Miltenberger could probably provide some more detail.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In this area here where the contamination was found when the swimming pool was being taken down, there are additional remediation costs that will likely occur in the springtime, so the total costs are unknown at this point. This is the initial piece. Thank you.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe it is a leased building.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, for our own policy and the requirements of that, if we can have the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs provide that information.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Our information was total area including all health authorities and the department falls in the area of $6.7 million. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I think we already have in place a fairly good system of informing Members when we have to make changes in the budget process, as well as request more funding. As stated in this case, as we became aware of it and started looking at this, started to do some of the review in this area working with departments, we’ve come to the point where we know we will not have the room within FMBS for 2005-2006 fiscal year to absorb this type of spike in the budget itself. Yes, the Member is right; between areas where it is, for example in this case, part of the union...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Mackenzie Delta, that Bill 20, An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act, No. 2, be read for the third time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as the Member pointed out, within this sitting we just passed a bill that would allow the petroleum products division within Public Works and Services to buy futures, as we would call them I guess, price hedging on the futures market on the commodities we need for our communities. That does give us, I guess, more tools in our toolbox to be able to try and lessen the impact of increased costs for fuel in the communities served by the petroleum products division. There is some risk in that. For example, if we just use the previous year’s occurrence, the...
