I like the use of words in these budget books. It has come up twice, "a residual balance." In looking in honourable Webster's, "residual" says, "The difference between results obtained by observation and by computation from a formula or between the mean of several observations and any one of them." How do you determine the $2.4 million was a residual balance when, at one stage, you had estimated a $2 million loss and then, all of a sudden, it is an additional $2.4 million. I assume that means there is a total loss of about $4.4 million on this exercise in Seville. Is that correct?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Perhaps a better word would have been another R word, the remaining balance of the loss. I will take that into consideration for future supplementary appropriations that come before the House, Mr. Chairman, particularly in the areas of loss. As I said before, there was $1.8 million written off last year and this is $2.4 million. The total amount is $4.2 million, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, this was supposed to be partially offset by insurance proceeds. How much insurance money did we receive on this unit? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, the preliminary insurance appraisals estimate an insurance recovery of approximately $1.7 million for replacement of the school. We have not yet received that money, though, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

Since the Minister indicated they did not seek that amount as of yet, what do they anticipate, or do they feel they will get reimbursed in regard to the insurance proceeds? Thank you.
