Thank you. I’m not sure I heard contract services, but at the same time can I get fees and payables? Most Members would note that there’s over a $900,000 jump in fees and payments and I’m trying to understand the prediction between that. Would that have to do with negotiations and how would they break out? Thank you.

Is it a fair assumption to say that certain particular parts of the National Building Code have been adopted by Public Works and maybe with the knowledge of the deputy minister, certain sections of the National Building Code have been adopted by Municipal and Community Affairs, but not the whole National Building Code?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

WHEREAS Tabled Document 2-17(3), Commissioner’s Opening Address: Creating the Condition for Success, has been tabled in the House;

AND WHEREAS the Commissioner’s opening address requires detailed consideration;

NOW THEREFORE I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Hay River South, that Tabled Document 2-17(3), Commissioner’s Opening Address: Creating the Condition for Success, be referred to Committee of the Whole for consideration.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. That wouldn’t be the whole National Building Code would it?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In particular to the 90-day reference, that was the department of Housing regarding the naming of one of their buildings. Does that still fit in the description, the framework, I call it, that the Deputy Premier has referred to? Does that fit into that description and why would or wouldn’t it?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and actually it’s not so much the answer on page 7-26 that I was after. It’s about where does it show up basically in the revenue stream and noting that the TSC chargeback falls through on many pages, it does note the consolidated amount, but it doesn’t show up under Public Works revenue and it doesn’t show up under Finance revenue that falls into the general revenue. So I was just curious where the stream actually ends up. So we have great coordination and a wonderful spreadsheet on page 7-26, although we’re not there yet, of course, I recognize that, but that’s...

What I heard was a lot of dancing around the question, which was simply: Does the Deputy Premier find it reasonable if a Member has to wait 90 days or 103 days? Does that reasonably fit into that five-day framework? Respectfully…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On this particular page we have $51,000 under the TSC chargeback. I’m just trying to get a sense of, first of all, why does Public Works provide a TSC chargeback to itself and where does that revenue that accumulates from all of the TSC chargebacks actually show up?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions will be directed to the Deputy Premier of the House, the Honourable Jackson Lafferty. In my Member’s statement today I talked about the concerns about lack of response and, in some cases, timely response. It’s funny, as I’m sitting here I got a print-off of something from Mr. Ramsay’s office regarding information I asked in February, but actually that started off the discussion where the commitments were actually all made in the House, which I will table later today.

So to draw some sort of comparison here, this is the same problem we had in the last...
