Question 2-16(2) GNWT Expenditures on Energy

Speaker: Mr. Mercer

Mr. Speaker, I have a Return to Written Question 2-16(2) asked by Mr. Bromley on February 7, 2008, regarding GNWT expenditures on energy.

For the three fiscal years 2004–2005, 2005–2006 and 2006–2007 the GNWT and its major boards and agencies spent approximately $108 million on fuel oil, gasoline and electricity; $15 million on tank farms and other infrastructure related to fossil fuels; and $4.3 million on the transportation of fuel products.
