Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Another area of concern for the committee is one that has been noted in other departments and government wide and has to do with prior commitments. During the review of the 1992-93 capital estimates the committee was told by the Minister of Finance that prior capital commitments would be honoured in the capital budget. The committee was also advised that commitments had been made to the community of Fort Smith to renovate the J.B. Tyrrell Elementary School, and for the community of Hay River to renovate the Diamond Jenness High School. As a result the committee recommended that these renovations should proceed. The government responded that these renovations had the least priority unless safety is an issue and so these projects have been delayed to 1995-96. Mr. Chairman, we do not think this is right.
