Mr. Chairman, a question for the Minister on the Baffin region. You got a little bit ahead of me on buildings and works. In our books, we're showing $50,000 for electrical power distribution in Sanikiluaq and I thought I understood that, by March 31, 1994, the Sanikiluaq power distribution system would be taken over by the NWT Power Corporation. If that's the case, why would Public Works have any money in their budget for that system?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Sanikiluaq has opened up two sub-divisions that require electrical service. As housing construction proceeds, single-phase extensions were provided, on a temporary basis, to housing construction in 1991. Further housing construction necessitates balanced phase extensions throughout the two sub-divisions. These funds will not be required if the system is transferred to NWT Power Corporation effective April 1, 1994. We are hoping to do that but we have to keep it here for now. If it transfers like it's supposed to, we will give it back.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister has promised that he will return that money on April 1, 1994, if the power distribution system is being operated by the Power Corporation, so we will have to trust him to do that, I guess.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can I ask the committee's indulgence to go back to Inuvik region? Page 8-16. Thank you. I was just making a couple of calls to officials in Inuvik on the upgrade of the high temperature hot water system for Grollier Hall. Looking at the motion we just passed from SCOF, in the next five years, there are four or five major buildings in Inuvik that are going to be eventually taken off the high temperature hot water system, which is in the utilidor, and turned to boilers.
Presently, there is a committee in Inuvik, the utilidor committee, looking at the impact of coming off the hot water system and going onto boilers. As each major building comes off the system, somebody ends up paying the cost for that building because, all the heat comes from the water pumped out of one boiler at the power plant, through the pressure system and then through the utilidors in the town. My concern here is that we don't expect the studies to be done in the short term. It will take four to six months for the study to be done.
Then, there's an impact study and whoever's on the committee -- it's a government committee, including some town officials -- will come up with a coordinated approach. I was under the understanding that this $75,000 was going to be deferred until a later time, or until this coordination was done in Inuvik. I am curious as to why it's still in the plan?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The department participates in that Inuvik utilities and planning committee, in conjunction with the Department of MACA, the NWT Power Corporation and town council. The planning is coordinated with the activities of this committee, which is developing a plan for an orderly shut- down and abandonment of that system. We need this money now -- we are working with that committee and everybody knows what is happening -- for the development and plan for an orderly shut down.

The $75,000 is going to be used to do the planning and the studies. Is your department doing that? Am I understanding this correctly?

This $75,000 is to build a detached boiler room adjacent to Grollier Hall and install two oil-fired boilers to heat the student residence. That has been agreed to by this committee.

I don't want to get into an argument at this stage. My concern is that we have to make sure all the ducts are lined up in order, before we start taking one building off the system, and before all the plans are in order. That's my concern.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll double check if those ducks are lined up and I will get back to you on that. Thank you.

Lining up ducks, perhaps we should be in Renewable Resources for this. We were on Baffin. No, we were finished Baffin. Total activity was $2.07 million. We have agreement?
