Mr. Chairman, we had initially said that we would finish Education, Culture and Employment, Bill 5, and then get into SAPS, excuse me, Safety and Public Services.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, I'm prepared to make my statement. I'm pleased to present the Department of Safety and Public Services' 1995-96 capital main estimates. The total capital requirements for the Department of Safety and Public Services are $185,000.
The capital needs of the department are, for the most part, driven by enforcement legislation. Section 35(3) of the Mining Safety Act requires that the government provide and repair mine rescue equipment. Expenditures of this nature ($35,000) are recovered from the active mines, through an assessment and credited to a capital recovery account.
An additional $58,000 is required by mine safety for environmental testing equipment to ensure that environmental standards for safe working conditions in underground mines, as specified in legislation, are complied with.
The safety division requires $92,000 for occupational health lab equipment to test for a variety of metal, gas, chemical, radiation, fibre or dust particles that could affect the health and safety of exposed people.
I will be pleased to answer any questions you may have. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Standing Committee on Finance has very brief remarks on Safety and Public Services. Once again, this department's capital budget is restricted to items related to enforcing the various acts administered by the department. The committee accepts the department's substantiations for health laboratory and mine rescue equipment. Mahsi, Mr. Chairman.
