Mr. Chairman, just before we put this massive bill to bed, I think it should be noted that we're making history today. I've been informed by one of the Assembly historians that this is the largest supplementary estimate to date, in the history of the Northwest Territories.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I made a commitment yesterday to report to the House on the PY adjustments in Yellowknife over the last few years and, before we conclude the supp in which the question was asked, I would like to read into the record that in 1991-92 and 1992-93, there was a decrease in departments by 38.4 PYs and, as I said yesterday, that was made up by increases in boards by 38.4 PYs, so it was awash in 1991-92 to 1992-93.

Mr. Chairman, in 1992-93 and 1993-94, there was a decrease in PYs by departments of some 47.3 PYs and boards increased by 18.2 PYs, for a net reduction of 29.1 PYs, Mr. Chairman. In 1993-94 and 1994-95, there was a decrease in PYs in Yellowknife departments of 26.5 PYs and boards increased by 7.4 PYs, for a total reduction of 19.1 PYs across the board, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in 1994-95 supp 1, there was a 16-PYs increase by departments in Yellowknife, for a total of 16. So, for 1994-95, the net is a reduction of 3.1 PYs in Yellowknife, Mr. Chairman. I will send that detail over to Mr. Dent, Mr. Chairman.
