Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On this buildings and works, in regards to the town of Iqaluit, there is going to be a decrease in the maintenance and utilities. Why does the town of Iqaluit not require the funding for maintenance and utilities, with the transfer of water and sewer, or is this simply an oversight?

Mr. Chairman, I will try to explain this. It was an arrangement some time ago with the power plant in Iqaluit that there was excess heat, or services, provided through the special arrangement that has now been cut off now, because of the expense. Another arrangement is used, that the town of Iqaluit is organizing themselves. It is less expensive. They declined to continue to buy water and sewage that was supplied through the plant, because it was too expensive. So, that has been cut off, and they have another arrangement within the town of Iqaluit.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This amount, $30,000 is quite small, and I was wondering why it could not be found within the existing resources.

Mr. Chairman, as part of the program, it is recognized that when a certain facility is completed that we fund this position. It is recognized that this is additional funding would automatically be assigned once the facility is in place. It is recognized that these are new funds, and departments are expected to come forward to put it in as a new expense item.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As part of the arrangement between D.P.W. and the Baffin Regional Health Board, what type of arrangements have been arranged, between D.P.W. and the Baffin Regional Health Board, that will save us $1.287 million?

Mr. Chairman, it is not a saving, it is just put into another department. It is transferred from Health to Government Services to do certain jobs, and from Health to Public Works to do certain jobs for the health boards.
