Oral questions. Supplementary, Mr. Todd.

Thank you. Is the Minister willing to clarify for the federal officials that, since we are in no way represented by the Makivik Corporation, the GNWT insists on receiving adequate levels of intervenor funding so we can speak for ourselves on this important issue?

Mr. Kakfwi.

Oral questions. Mr. Dent.

It is either one general question or all of the above types of question. Mr. Patterson.

Mr. Speaker, I believe the honourable Member is assuming that there will be additional costs associated with awarding contracts to northern businesses. I am not necessarily sure that would always be the case. However, if there are additional costs, I think my colleague's statement indicated very clearly that this kind of additional cost would be considered as an investment by this government in the economy of the North.

So, in that event, it would be my responsibility as Minister of Municipal Affairs to seek the necessary additional resources through the capital plan. It is a relatively routine matter when tenders come in a little higher that sometimes we can take the moneys from the projects where they have come in a little bit lower and make up the difference. That is how we would do it through the capital outlook process in that event.

Oral questions. Supplementary, Mr. Dent.

Mr. Patterson.

Mr. Speaker, I am not sure if that is not a hypothetical question.

The way I understood it, he was just giving a broad example of his previous question to make sure you understood the general text of it. I am not sure he was not asking what would happen for this particular hypothetical question. Mr. Patterson.

Mr. Speaker, it might be more appropriate for me to take that question as notice and consult with my colleague, the Minister of Finance.
