Mr. Chairman, just to let Members realize, with regard to some of the statements made on artifacts, that the artifacts are being stored in a heated storage area. Whether the artifacts are stored here or in Ottawa or wherever they should be stored, they are still being preserved. They will not deteriorate because the conditions are right. The same thing could be said about the church in Fort Providence which is, as far as I am concerned, an artifact. Members have to realize that you have a situation where the church has not been heated, and while you have artifacts that have not been heated, you also have a situation in Fort Providence where the church is being weather-beaten by the cold and heat and rain and snow and everything else. And also it is a tourist attraction too, just as much as it is over here.

So the point I am trying to make, Mr. Chairman, is by reducing this $40,600 by $25,000 to $15,600, it is not very much, if you look at your appropriation of $55 million. That is very little. So I do not see where the big problem is. I just cannot see it.

Mr. Allooloo.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member referred to $25,000 is not a large amount of money. But it is to my department. My department is very small.

Thank you. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Mr. Chairman, I did want clarification for some of my comments, but looking at the time I would like to recognize the clock.

Mr. Gargan, she is asking for a point of clarification. I am trying to deal with Mr. Gargan's motion here. We have been shifting toward the Finance Minister's budget proposals rather than the motion. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Mr. Chairman, I move we report progress.

The motion is not debatable. Those in favour of the motion? Opposed, if any? The motion is carried. Excuse me, I have nays. I am sorry it was not carried because I forgot to look at the other side. I do not know if they are important or not. However, it is now 6:30, and I will have to report progress.

The House will come to order. Mr. Arvaluk.

Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Bill 4 and Bill 1 and wishes to report progress, and that Bill 4 is ready for third reading. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of the chairman of the committee of the whole be concurred with.

Is there a seconder to the motion? Mr. Dent. The motion is in order. All those in favour? Opposed, if any? The motion is carried.
