Mr. Speaker, I attempted to deal with that today. The day starts very early, and I did not get all that information. So I cannot answer the Member's question at this time. However, perhaps tonight when we get back to it, I can provide the update to the honourable Member.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask a question to the Minister of Education. I have been advised that the Glenrose Hospital in Edmonton is no longer willing to test children with learning disabilities from the NWT. I would like to know if the Minister will be able to consider forming an educational assessment team for the NWT.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Public Works. I am wondering if he could advise the House today whether the business incentive policy has been through cabinet, and is it now in force?

Given the fact that GNWT contracts are now up for tender, when will it go through cabinet, and when will it be in force?

Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Public Works. Mr. Speaker, on March 24th in committee of the whole when we discussed the Minister's budget, we had asked that all office renovations be deferred until a plan was developed. To date, I recognize in our mail box a reply from the Minister of Public Works who indicated this particular activity was reduced by $780,000. Can he indicate to this House who reduced this activity by $780,000? I know it was not at the Legislative Assembly.

May I ask for clarification from the Minister? When he said, 'we* reduced it, does he mean the cabinet reduced it, or that he reduced it, or that the standing committee on finance reduced it?

Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Public Works indicates in his letter that an office plan was developed in response to the needs of the department. He is indicating that since the department reduced it by $780,000, and this motion of his reducing $200,000 in Yellowknife for office renovations, by this letter sent to Members -- I would like to ask the Minister if this is his justification for his office plan in order to proceed by his department?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My understanding of the motion in committee of the whole is that it was recommended that all office accommodation be deferred until a plan is developed and a strategy is approved by the Assembly reflected in the current fiscal reality. There is an office plan that had been developed and, with my letter, I was forwarding it to Members,
