Mr. Chairman, funding is required on an annual basis for the preparation of granular and borrow material inventories and preparation of management development restoration plans, and the construction of minor access roads and minor drainage improvements to quarries. Projects may be undertaken directly by MACA or by way of funding contribution to tax-based communities as outlined in the municipal capital assistance policy. The studies allow for the transfer of these quarry sites to the control of each community.

Mr. Chairman, I had my hand up before you started out on the clauses. But nevertheless, I just want to make a comment before we get into the detail of the bill.

Mr. Chairman, our Standing Committee on Finance, in their report, made reference to the reorganization of the department's structural reorganization. I was going to get into that whole area, but because Members are tired and I know they want to go home for the long weekend, I didn't pursue that. But just to advise the Minister, next week when we start the next session, I'll be pursuing it further.

Thank you. Mr. Zoe, I regret to inform you that your comments are out of order at this time. But I don't know how we can strike them from the record.

We were dealing with clause by clause and we were into clause 2. Clause 2.
