Mr. Chairman, that information has already been provided to all the Members. It is the information that we are referring to in the House here, and it is our most current information.
Mr. Chair, I’m sitting beside Mr. Bromley, and we’re looking at the same information, so I’m not too sure what the more current information is that you’re talking about. If we can look at the information that is current so that it is as current as we can get it.
Mr. Chairman, if the Member is unable to find the information, I’ll make sure he gets a copy.
Just as long as we’re kept in the loop about exactly where these expenditures are and you keep the committee and Members up to date. I’ll leave it at that.
Thank you, Mr. Krutko. I didn’t hear a question. The next person on my list is Mrs. Groenewegen.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. When I left off my question before on the Inuvik schools — this is just to recap — Mr. Miltenberger said that the authority was signed off by then Premier Joe Handley. That was in support of the negotiated contract, but the actual appropriation of funds to the Financial Management Board was signed off by the then Finance Minister, Mr. Roland. Then, when there was a discrepancy or difference, I guess, between the original project that would have been signed on by FMB and the current project, was there need for any subsequent approvals by Cabinet or FMB with respect to the change in the price of the project?
Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Minister Miltenberger.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There was an FMB submission on June 20 for additional funds.
And that would have been signed off by yourself as Minister of Finance? Just help me out. Who’s signing here?
The Finance Minister at the time was still Premier Roland.
So the original agreement to negotiate the contract was signed off by Minister Handley, and two subsequent appropriations related to the cost of the Inuvik schools were both signed by Mr. Roland, as the chair of the FMB and the Minister of Finance, correct?
That’s everything I wanted to know. Thank you.
