Henry Zoe North Slave
Mr. Chairman, I understand that this portion of our money is offset by the federal government. If I am correct, this is the area where we are having problems with the federal government. They are not paying their bills; we are in dispute with them. That is the main reason, I believe, we are in a deficit at this moment. Could I ask the Minister of Finance, how soon are they going to try to resolve this whole dispute? How long do you anticipate it is going to take our government? It has been going on for quite a while, Mr. Chairman, and I would like to get an indication from the government as to when they anticipate getting this issue resolved.

The Member is correct; it is an area where we are having difficulties with the federal government, Mr. Chairman. There has been a communication from the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs, Mr. Siddon, to the Government Leader. That was discussed at a strategy meeting last Friday in which the Government Leader, the Minister of Health and myself participated, along with staff, and there will be correspondence going back shortly to Mr. Siddon in that regard, so the issue is coming to a head, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

I just want, Mr. Chairman, to reinforce what Mr. Zoe said. While on paper, for the benefit of all Members, it indicates an offset estimate of $2,448,000, in fact some of that money could end up being a contingent liability and adding to the already $40 million situation, should the decision come down on the wrong side of the ledger. Am I correct, Mr. Pollard?
