Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the issue of civic leave has come up with respect the overall policy, and I have done a review and discussed with my Cabinet colleagues the potential issues and avenues that we had. It was felt that we leave it at the existing stage. Now it becomes an issue more of making sure that the implementation is the same across the board. So we have looked at it and feel that we are fairly generous. We have to be careful here, because it can go either way with the review, either tightening it up and making it very rigid or making it too loose and have a hard...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this budget does allow for about $250,000 for the removal of the vertical tank and the access vaults and a portion of the three resupply lines, and then $25,000 provided for the remediation of some of the soils in that area. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Unfortunately, no, as our new deductible limit is $10 million, so anything up to $10 million we pay from our own sources. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this project was on the books and a planned program was in place. We did have to bring in an individual to look at this who specializes in these types of structures. There were some noted concerns about it and in the report we were given, we were informed that there was a high potential of environmental risk here if we did not move this project ahead. So what you see here is the fact that we’ve had to bring the cash flow up sooner than we had originally planned. The original plan for this year would have been about $20,000 for some initial work. In 2005...

Thank you, Madam Chair. The $184,000 ends up dealing with a couple of other figures in there. The negotiated purchase price ended up being $180,000, but the inspection cost was $1,685 and the closing adjustments were $2,521. Thank you.

No, nothing further, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I don’t have the actual figures left on that. We can’t provide that information as to the number who were grandfathered. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, that was the general practice of all organizations that did get these funds. It was again intended for harvesters and to support them in maintaining their harvesting practices. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. No, it doesn’t. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the government operates on estimates. An estimate was made based on the requirements that would be needed for that space. We know what the type of requirements are, so we went ahead on that basis as we do with other things. What we could potentially find here is we could go either way. There might not be the requirement for the full amount, or there might be a requirement for more, but I highly doubt that, as we're aware of the type of space that's required and the estimates put in place with the space requirements. Thank you.
