Is the $8 million enough to cover all of the loans which are being requested? Do we have an estimate of how many loans there are? How many loans are going to be required for 1993-94, on top of what is already owing by municipalities?

If there is additional requirements from municipalities, what happens then? Do we approve a supplementary amendment to this bill? I wonder, for example, if $8 million is in that, you have $7.3 million worth of requests, you have a slush of about $700,000. I am just thinking out loud if someone needs an additional $1 million, then does the Minister come back with an amendment to this bill? How does the process work?

Mr. Chairman, the funds being asked for, $8 million under this Loan Authorization Act, can only be used for that. There is no slush fund because if they are not used then there is no money that lapses, it is just the authority which lapses, Mr. Chairman. Last year, we had asked for authority for $9 million and I believe there was only an uptake of some $4.495 million from communities. So, we might have some leeway there if there are other requests which come forward. Certainly, if there were requests greater than $8 million, then the bill would have to come back to the House and be amended. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
