Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, Supplementary Appropriation No. 1 requests authority for additional appropriations of $72.009 million. This supplementary appropriation consists of $30.945 million in O and M and $41.064 million in capital.

In operations and maintenance, Mr. Chairman, the most significant amounts are $20 million for the additional costs of the 1994 forest fire suppression program; $2.839 million for the increased requirements to the social assistance program; $1.148 million for the increased requirements of the court services program; and, $1.008 million for the increased requirements for the corrections program.

In capital, Mr. Chairman, the most significant amounts are $17.430 million to provide funding for the 1994-95 social housing program to partially offset funding reductions imposed by the CMHC; $16.484 million to finance the carry-over of funding from the 1993-94 fiscal year to the 1994-95 fiscal year to complete capital projects started during 1993-94, but not finished; $1.080 million to provide funding for the implementation of the building and learning strategy in pilot communities; $1 million to provide funding for the Canada/NWT infrastructure agreement; and, $1 million to provide funding for modification to the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker Terry Fox, to enable the vessel to deliver dry cargo and fuel products to Pelly Bay on an annual resupply basis.

Mr. Chairman, the combined effect of these supplementary appropriation requirements has been to change the fiscal projections for 1994-95 from a balanced budget to a deficit of $35.6 million. Mr. Chairman, I will be pleased to try to answer any questions Members may have. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
