Edward Picco Iqaluit

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just want to confirm from Mr. Antoine; you said earlier that the reallocation of some monies that were earlier targeted would go to Iqaluit and Apex harbour enhancement because of the serious concerns we had for their safety, at cetera. I notice it's $140,000, but you had announced it was $200,000. Could you tell me what the proper amount is there?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The honourable Member for Iqaluit is referring to a reallocation that we would like to do here, and if it is approved then you would add on the $200,000 to that amount, and the amount here will be about $340,000.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Has FMBS authorized the reallocation of the $200,000 so it would be $340,000, for the record?

Yes, Mr. Chairman, the Financial Management Board approved the suggestion that I put forward of reallocating the $900,000 from tanker moorings in Rankin Inlet, and the way that we've broken it down.

Jim Antoine Nahendeh

Sorry, Mr. Chairman. What I am referring to is that I had proposed reallocating $900,000 from the tanker moorings in Rankin Inlet, which is in the next section which we haven't gone to yet. But the question from the honourable Member for Iqaluit is that a part of that decision of the Financial Management Board would be to reallocate the $900,000, and that $200,000 of that would be added on through the Iqaluit-Apex harbour enhancement in Iqaluit and add on $200,000 to the $140,000. That will make it $340,000. Thank you.
