I just wanted to reiterate, just so that everybody understands, particularly the Cabinet, at 6:00 p.m. we do have the conclusion of the briefing of the N.W.T. Housing Corporation. It is an extremely important one so therefore we will be closing off at 6:00 p.m.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a resolution from the Standing Committee on Finance on this. The Yellowknife Tenant Improvement Project substantiation sheet indicates that it is anticipated that the Department of Finance lease will not be renewed, but gives no reason for this. The committee naturally assumes that whether the lease is renewed or not will depend upon the tender results, and hence budgeting for these specific tenant improvements are premature. If the department requires additional funding as a result of the tendering process, then they may request supplementary funding later in the year.

Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Government Services and Public Works Yellowknife office renovation tenant improvement budget of $600,000, be reduced for amounts related to space for the Department of Finance pending lease renewal tender results. Thank you.
