One of the objectives of the department in the next year is to turn the Sanikiluaq power plant over to the NWT Power Corporation. Can the Minister tell us if he has been successful in negotiating that out of the department yet?

I am trying to tie this in with revenues. I am not sure where the money for staff housing comes in. I do not know if it is under this activity, accommodation services or buildings and works. The issues on the revenue side of things are, there is an increase in the revenues in staff housing, other recoveries. I assume they are rent increases. I do not know. I need some clarification because there were changes to the staff housing policy and it is obviously not going to be reflected in these numbers. I am wondering when the adjustments are going to be made.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My understanding is that the amendment is going to be made by the Minister of Finance toward the end of this process. Thank you.

When does the Minister of Finance expect to do this? It is just like the payroll tax where departments are affected by the changes, but the documents we have do not reflect any of these changes. Why do you not put an omnibus change submission in?

Mr. Chairman, we anticipated changes that reflected the change in the housing policy. The numbers were to be provided to us by the departments at 10:00 am this morning. I understand the Department of Finance has been talking to Mr. Hamilton and a process is being worked out to amend Bill 17 at the time that the bill passes through the House, Mr. Chairman. Those amendments will be made by way of motion by myself at the time that the bill is before us. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think this activity includes the task of telecommunications. As the Minister knows, I have been after him for providing a better telecommunications system into the communities of Nahanni Butte, Jean Marie River and Trout Lake. I understand Kakisa is also interested, but it is in another constituency. However, these small communities have always wanted to know if this government is doing anything to try to provide this very necessary service to them. Would the Minister see if there is anything in this task to provide that service to these communities?
