We also know that there’s been a precedent set many times whereby the government has made a contribution to create a proposal for a program or activity, and a proposal would have to identify revenue sources, potential sources of grants and contributions to run a program.

Would the government also entertain, please, a contribution agreement to such a coalition or partnership in Hay River to develop this property? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. The motion is in order. To the motion.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My Member’s statement today is on one of my very favourite topics. That is the hospital in Hay River, not the new hospital but the old hospital.

Mr. Speaker, every time we have anticipated what we are going to do with that piece of infrastructure once the new hospital is fully occupied, I have adhered to my belief and my philosophy that just because it’s old doesn’t mean it’s no good, and it’s actually not even that old. I was there for the ribbon cutting. I never thought about the meaning of that.

---Laughter

I really do believe that. Anyway, Mr. Speaker, I’ve hit a brick...

Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Aumond. Mr. Bromley.

Does the committee agree that we have concluded consideration of Tabled Document 325-17(5)?
