Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In light of the comments made by the honourable Member for Amittuq responding to my colleague, I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Finance. Is it true what the Minister is saying that all approved capital projects for 1991-92 are frozen within the 90-day period? I sit on the standing committee on finance and I was not informed that this was the case. Is this something new?
Question O29-12(1): Freeze On Capital Projects
In the Legislative Assembly on December 10th, 1991. See this topic in context.

Mr. Speaker, in this case I think my colleague meant to say a contribution which was $25,000 for the church in Fort Providence. Capital projects are not frozen, although I would advise the House that contracting departments, all departments of the government, are advising us of projects that are budgeted for this year that have not been started. FMB will be looking at that next week, Mr. Speaker.
