It is my understanding Mr. Morin, that you do not have a point of order. Mr. Picco stated "could arise from these contracts." He did not state that they are arising, or that they would arise, could arise. On that I rule that you do not have a point of order. We are on Assets Management, and I think the question put to Mr. Todd. I will ask Mr. Picco again, could you please ask the question again to Mr. Todd.

Thank you Mr. Chairman. It does pay to read the rule book. My question again is, is the Government looking at tightening up the way that this Government does negotiated leases?

Thank you Mr. Chairman. A civilized question warrants a civilized answer. I want to assure the House that negotiated contracts, whether they be for leases, or lease renovations, are stringently reviewed by the FMB, or cabinet, and approved thereof. Thank you.

Thank you Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I know that they are stringently looked at. My question was, are they going to review the regulations that are currently in place for negotiated leases, that was my question, and he just told me what they are doing now. I am asking, is the Government ... do I have to repeat the question again?

Mr. Picco, I guess the Government is not going to review again, that is his answer. Do you have any further questions?

Thank you Mr. Chairman. I guess my question would be then, why not?

I do not even know what the question is. He has made the rhetorical statement, unsubstantiated, I spoke about it earlier. There is no requirement at this time, the rules are clear. Unless there is a requirement that the Committee chairs, and there is a collective vote for requirement, we are on the singular need to pontificate, then I am prepared to re-examine it. But unless somebody can bring forward significant evidence to prove that the system we have in place is inadequate, why
would I go re-examine a policy that is in place, and it is sound.

That is a matter of opinion. The Minister stated an opinion that it is sound. In my opinion it is not. So I guess I will beg to differ with the Minister, and I will give someone else a shot at this line of questioning.

Thank you Mr. Picco. I believe the Minister answered the Member's question. Mr. Krutko, you had your hand up on Assets Management.

Just a clarification on ministerial furnishings. Is that from the previous government, does this carry into this government?

Thank you Mr. Chairman. Can the Minister explain the list that we have here, under Special Warrants, the last one in particular, sale of the old northern health property in Yellowknife? Should that not be displayed differently? That is revenue that is being generated, whereas the other ones are expenditures. What am I missing? Thank you.
