Yes, hmm. This is an interesting process issue. The whole idea of having the motion was to ensure and facilitate some debate on these items that are being promoted for being deleted. Now that the motion is on the floor, I don’t know what the process is for the Minister to answer any questions about that. Pardon?

Okay, the Minister could speak to the motion at some point here, but maybe what we will do is ask the Minister to take note of a few comments here. To the motion, Mr. Pokiak.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. To the motion. Mr. Braden.

Clause 6.

Thank you. Executive, continued, operations expenditures, Financial Management Board, directorate, not previously authorized, $3,000; directorate, $11,000; government accounting, $3,000.

Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Roland.

Well, before we can, I think, make any decision on what we’re doing here, we need to have that kind of information. I mean, this is like a very significant amount of money. I have to say that I thought Mr. McLeod’s questions were excellent too. I mean, how can you say upgrade it to this code, but in two years…that just seems like a very arbitrary decision. In two years, those upgrades are no longer any good. What? Is the code going to change in two years? I mean, that’s a very good point. Either the building is safe and it’s up to code or it isn’t. You know? It isn’t, you know, we’re just...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister this final question then. If his department has given any consideration to hosting some type of venue where businesses that are interested in starting up or expanding what they are already doing, finding out where they can get support services for their company, additional capital, things like that, has the Minister’s department considered hosting or facilitating any such a gathering here in the North, given the timing and the imminent development that lies ahead? Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Roland. General comments. Mr. Ramsay.

Mr. Ramsay.
