Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The reason for SCOF having this motion is not to go against any of the things that honourable Members are saying about providing information to the public on natural resource development. The point here is that, last year, this department had equipment we asked them to do away with and we asked them to privatize this area because of what Mr. Lewis is saying about each department having their own production system.

In this particular case, Renewable Resources is buying a monitor for $15,000 and in their substantiations for next year they're going to be asking for a $60,000 Betacam 400 camera. In the following year they're going to be asking for editing equipment for $40,000. The point here is that it is more than $15,000. The department is setting up their own television production centre. We've asked them to look at privatizing this work. The Department of Education, Culture and Employment has equipment like this, as well.

Are we going to be buying equipment like this for each department, or is there a policy that the government has that says to put all this type of equipment in one area and share the work? That is where we are coming from. It is not to go against fur management or any of that. The point is we're looking at capital. It starts with $15,000 and is going to add up over the next couple of years. The point is, is the government heading in this direction? We asked them, last year, to privatize it and they haven't done that. That is the reason why the motion is in place today. Mahsi.
