Can I get clarification, because under the Fort Smith office renovations/tenant improvements, various Fort Smith, we have $125,000 that we are currently being asked to vote on to determine whether we concur with this expenditure. I have asked for basically an indication of what we are going to expend this funding on. The Minister indicated the Milton building, however, I know on page 10-18 we are going to be looking at an additional $90,000 for the Milton building. So is the Minister indicating to this House that in addition to $125,000 plus $90,000 we are going to be spending $215,000 to upgrade the Milton building in Fort Simpson?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The work schedule for that $90,000 is for replacing the existing forced air heating and water radiation system. That is to bring the building up to code. That is our concern, that the building is up to code. What the client department is asking for in this activity we are discussing now, the client department being MACA, Economic Development and Tourism and Personnel, they are asking for this $125,000 renovation to this same building. Thank you.

How old is this building? Is it government-owned or a leased building?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not have the age of the building; I know we bought it in 1984 and it is government-owned.

This Milton building could not be more than 20 years old and we are considering renovations of $215,000. 1 recognize that part of those renovations are to bring it up to standards. There is no intention to address the old dilapidated regional buildings that they have in Fort Smith which are probably 40 years old or older. If you look at the way it is, the halls are so narrow and it has not been up to standard for 15 or 20 years. What is the intention of the department to address the regional building in Fort Smith?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This Milton building in Simpson was built by developers and it was not built very well. They went broke and we ended up with it in 1984. We bought it, then in 1989 there was a proposal from the development arm of the Simpson band to sell-lease it back to us and that fell through and we had to start upgrading it immediately to bring it up to code, That included installing a new sprinkler system and replacing the existing furnaces with boilers and a few architectural renovations. The building was in very bad shape because it was built cheaply. We ended up with it so we had to bring it up to code. The client department has also asked us to renovate it so it is better suited to their needs.
In Fort Smith there are some major renovations in the longterm plan for that building in 1995-96. Presently, that building is up to code. I believe that building is an old building that has been maintained by the government so it has been kept in good shape in the past and right now it is at code, I believe. We are looking at some major renovations in 1995-96. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With respect to the regional building in Fort Smith, when was it last determined that that particular building was up to code? When was the heating system installed in that particular building, or was it ever changed since it was constructed?
