Mr. Chairman, the vehicle pool in Yellowknife has been eliminated. I believe there are certain departments that have their own vehicles. The departments will have to rent vehicles that they need.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Will there be a transfer of resources? How are departments going to cover off the cost? Is that built in or do they just have to eat that cost?

Mr. Chairman, there were no funds transferred for this activity. The departments that require the use of vehicles will have to find them from within.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So there is no money being transferred. Are existing vehicles being transferred? Once it is time to be replaced, do the departments have to come up with the money from within their own budgeting process?

Mr. Chairman, the vehicles that were in the vehicle pools are being disposed of in the usual manner as surplus vehicles.

I wonder if we could be advised if this is a cheaper way of handling transportation needs for government employees. Has there been some study done on this?

Mr. Chairman, I am not aware of any kind of study, but an immediate savings would be in the maintenance of the vehicles and I believe that once departments have to pay from within their budgets to use a vehicle, there would be a lot less demand for a vehicle. So in those two areas, there will be an immediate savings.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, I raise concerns in this area of vehicles and equipment. Are there proposed privatization plans laid forward in your vehicles and equipment? I believe that is where garages would be laid out.

Mr. Chairman, the particular garage that we are privatizing this year in Inuvik will be reflected in next year's business plan as a net reduction of three positions. It isn't reflected here.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was notified when I was elected that I had no position left with the government.

Thank you very much. So it isn't covered in this business plan.
