Thank you, Madam Chair. This is the estimate that has been brought forward. It breaks down for a number of things that happened and I will provide those: gymnasium wing repairs were $1.1 million, foyer replacement is estimated at $650,000, classroom wing cosmetic upgrades $500,000, and repair work to date is $250,000. The work is still ongoing on the foyer end of things, but the gymnasium was as a result of the fire that happened right on the heels of the actual collapse of the foyer.

Madam Chair, as a result of the collapse, there was some damage to the foyer entrance and the library, stuff...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think, as the Government of the Northwest Territories, we are one of the leading jurisdictions when it comes to recognizing aboriginal rights throughout Canada. For example, we have provided National Aboriginal Day as an actual day that is recognized as a paid day off for employees of the Government of the Northwest Territories and have put it in as recognized throughout the North.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We would be willing to look at establishing a revolving fund. That’s something I can bring back to my FMB colleagues as something we would look at putting into place.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, one of the requirements to qualify under this is that an annual financial report would be provided to the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Mackenzie Delta, that Bill 14, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 4, 2003-2004, be read for the third time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, when this file had come forward and we realized that we had to account for this, we had built the $3 million amount that would be the potential loss, but that went over our appropriation amount by the amount given of $231,000. Thank you.

No, Mr. Chairman, I think Mr. Miltenberger and other responses we have made have covered this area, and we have committed to provide more information on the estimates that were used to substantiate the initial costs or estimations. Thank you.

Debates of , (day 24)

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The amount that is being returned is the amount that we would have transferred over to the community. I guess it would be those buildings that they had agreed to do maintenance for us. This is the Public Works side of the agreement. Thank you.
