Could the Minister indicate why those projects, which were missed in Bill 29, were left out when they were not even gone ahead with in the previous year?

Mr. Chairman, as is the case with any of the capital carry-overs, there are different reasons why a project is stalled. It may be delivery, weather, technical difficulties or difficulties with foundations, or supplies, and we deal with those carry-overs as they become available to us. So I freely admit that not all of the carry-overs are in this particular document. These are the ones we are aware of, where there have now been difficulties resolved, and if there, are others out there it may be because of some of those

Mr. Chairman, I raise these concerns because, as the Minister knows, the prime building season is upon us. f the next supplementary is going to be coming forward, I would assume it would be in the next session, which is tentatively scheduled for the month of September. If these projects are going to be completed during the summer, Mr. Chairman, how is the Minister going to deal with the prior commitments that were made, that he anticipates will be coming forward in the month of September?

Mr. Chairman, if the next supplementary appropriation contains capital projects that were carried over, obviously in September, we would have lost this building season, and we will be proposing to carry them over into the next capital year. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, in other words, the Minister is indicating that the carry-overs that are not contained in Bill 29 would definitely not be carried forward in the month of September, and he would be suggesting that they would come into the new fiscal year, 1993-94. That is what I am hearing from the government. Am I correct?

Mr. Chairman, although the heavy construction money would not be required if we were going to do it in 1993-94, there might still be requirements in this particular capital year, such as design, soil testing, and maybe even some site clearing on certain projects. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, is the Minister considering, for those projects that are not in Bill 29 as carry-overs, that they could be done by special warrant during the summer while the House is not in session, and come forward with a supplementary in September so that the work for site testing design and so forth could be done during the summer period?

Mr. Chairman, that would depend on the project. It would depend on the department, and it would depend on the Department of Public Works for their expertise in that particular area. If they thought the work could be done after the next supplementary comes to the House, then there would not be any need for a special warrant. If it is urgent and pressing, I will take their direction and consider a special warrant, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
