Supplementary, again to the same Minister, Madam Speaker. The Minister indicates he has a copy with him, so I suspect that means he has reviewed it. Could the Minister advise if the report recommends significant changes to the department structure?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, during committee of the whole's consideration of the Department of Health's budget, the Minister made it sound like there had been a drop of about $150,000 from the fiscal year 1993-94 to 1994-95 in the budget for HIV/AIDS related programs. The Minister verbally provided details about how some of the funds were spent in 1993-94, but I would like to see more detail. Therefore, I have two questions for the Minister.

Would the Minister responsible for the Department of Health please provide this House with a detailed outline of HIV/AIDS related expenditures made in fiscal year 1993-94; and,

Would the Minister provide a detailed outline of HIV/AIDS related expenditures planned for the fiscal year 1994-95. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
