Thank you, Madam Chair. Any monies to be spent in years 1997-98 and subsequently must be approved by this Legislature. Anything that's shown as future years anticipated will have to be approved by this House and cannot be firmly committed to.

Thank you, Madam Chair. On the school in Rankin Inlet, the Minister had mentioned that there has been some work that took place last year. Can you elaborate on what has been done and what stage the project is at right now?

Thank you, Madam Chair. The design work was the stage that was being worked on last year. It was just design work.

So am I correct in understanding that, as far as this $3.3 million, the only commitments that are made are for payments to prepare drawings?

Thank you, Madam Chair. We are showing in 1995-96 $251,000, so those are obviously planning monies. I am not sure exactly where Public Works is in the process of administering this project, so I can't answer the specific question that the Member for Yellowknife South has asked. We would have to check with Public Works and get back to you.

On that, I was of the understanding that we would have to approve these main estimates before work could proceed. Am I misinformed here somewhere?

Thank you, Madam Chair. No, the Member is not misinformed. All of the funds that you find in the budget have to be approved, typically, before things can proceed. I guess I have to be careful with that because the interim appropriation that was passed by this House did, in fact, include most of the dollars, and I believe that the capital dollars that were in that interim appropriation represent a commitment for most of the projects that you see in this budget, so I would have to say that, in a sense, the commitment was made with that interim appropriation. I know that certainly the commitments have been made to the community, the CEC and the divisional board that this project is ongoing. As I mentioned, there was an agreement by the previous government to negotiate the contract to build the school.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. A few moments ago, the Minister spoke about the Arviat school and the timing of it. Unfortunately, at that time, I had a distraction, and I was wondering if the Minister would repeat the comments regarding the timing of the Arviat school or the comments that you made earlier, two or three moments ago?

Thank you, Madam Chair. Our current five-year plan shows a total of $5.7 million for the project, starting in 1996-97 as a planning year. The 1997-98 year would be for design work, with major construction in 1998-99 and some follow-up work in 1999-2000, with the warranty being in the year 2000-01.
