Mr. Chairman, the-church in Fort Good Hope, in 1990 there was $20,000 spent and in 1991 there was $150,000 and this year there is $251,000. One of the things I cannot find acceptable is that this government has found -the federal government -- the necessary moneys to address one church in one particular community but to date has ignored that there are needs in other communities, and they are not addressing them at all. I find that Members on this side, who do not have the luxury of having the moneys at hand or are aware of moneys available for certain programs, are left out with really no way of addressing their problem.

We have never addressed this issue. I know the church in Fort Providence is one example, but I am hearing in Fort Resolution there are other examples. This is the 1990s, and buildings that were built in the early 1900s are now deteriorating. A lot of the communities have a concern that this government has not got anything to address that situation. I am sure in the years to come Members in this House will address those issues. But I find it difficult when Members of the Executive are given preference over ordinary Members when it comes to historical buildings. Is the Minister addressing the situation?

Mr. Chairman, I think the Member responsible for this activity has committed to the Member to attempt to see if the church or the site he is interested in gets designated. I believe the appropriation communications have begun. As well, the communications with the relative church at a higher level has also been put forward. I know the Member has gone to a great deal of work to try to get some recognition for the renovations that are required.

I know that Mr. Allooloo will attempt, to the best of his ability, to try to reconcile some support for Fort Providence church.

In 1990-91 there was $20,000 spent; last year there was $150,000; and this year there is $251,000, a total of $420,000. I would like to ask how much of that has been spent to date.

Mr. Chairman, in 1990-91, $20,000 on the feasibility study and in 1991-92, $49,000 has been spent up to this date on restoration plans. So that $101,000 will be carried forward from the original estimates because they could not complete the work. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, it should be negative. It is a carry-over to 1992-93 because the full amount of the work planned for 1991-92 could not be completed.
