It’s a federal site. The federal government moves at its own pace and we’ve seen that across the board. In this case, they have yet to respond, and we will do what we can to encourage them to carry out and conclude a response on this issue. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We’ll provide that information for the Member.

We were waiting the PUB official ruling before we could include it and it didn’t happen in time to get it in the budget. Now that we do have it, we are coming forward in this forum.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to acknowledge that Mr. St. Germaine, on June 20th, is going to start the fruits of his many years of labour and he is going to retire. This will be the last time he will be appearing before this august body at this witness table. I just want to thank him on behalf of all of us and I just want to wish him a very long, happy and productive next stage of his life because I don’t imagine he’ll retire, but this is his last time here.

---Applause

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We will continue to strongly encourage the Minister and his staff to give us the indication that we need, sign it off so we can get down to business. Thank you.

No, Mr. Chair.

Yes, we are presenting what we have as a final expenditure on that project.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. By definition, forgiveness is just that. Once the bill is passed, there’s going to be some investigation that’s going to be required. There might be factors that the Member is not aware of, that we’re not aware of, things like was the person indigent.

In terms of the Member’s concern, at this point, once this bill is passed, it is forgiven once it’s given assent by the Commissioner.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understood the Member was interested in the content piece that Health and Social Services and Education will be looking at loading it up. Once they get it, the Member is correct in how they use it other than what that content is, is another question. In terms of Internet access, that’s not going to be our cost unless there is public accessibility somewhere. In the homes, it will be the cost of the parents. Thank you.

The commitment is as we make the expenditures and identify the need, we will provide that information to committee through fiscal updates, through our business planning process, through our supps that we’re going to put this money to use in.
