A few days ago, I met with the Minister with regard to the possibility of going to Rae-Edzo on Saturday. Is the Minister still going there to discuss these issues with the mayor of Rae-Edzo?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have some things that have come up in my constituency and I have to attend to them this weekend. As you know, as the Minister, I haven't seen my constituency for quite some time. My staff will be going into Rae to meet with the council on that issue. Thank you.

With regard to the water treatment plant upgrade in Aklavik, you don't have any funds for future years. I thought there was supposed to be a major upgrade within the next few years. When is that supposed to be scheduled and why is it so far off?

Christensen

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is a project not unlike the project regarding the water treatment storage in Fort McPherson, in that we have identified $30,000 in 1996-97 to do a study of the condition of the existing water treatment plant. Again, depending on the outcome of that particular study, we will have to reflect the

results of that in the next capital planning review process. The improvements that are indicated would appear at that time.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If the study says they need a treatment plant, who makes the final decision? Is it Cabinet or the Minister?

So the ultimate decision on who is going to get capital projects is made by Cabinet.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the department recommends a capital plan to the Minister who then takes it to the Financial Management Board. The ultimate decision is really made here in the Legislative Assembly when you approve our budget. That is what we are doing right now. We are bringing our budget forward to you, as has been approved by the FMB, for presentation to the Legislative Assembly today. Thank you.
