Regarding the Minister's statement, I was not clear on his answer. Did he say this week or next month?

Mr. Chairman, there were two items the Member asked about. One was the list of assets that we had disposed of, a list of leased buildings, and then also the Aklavik gravel situation. We will get it as soon as possible. I indicated that at the latest it should be by the end of this month in a couple of weeks.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would just like to make a point that there are two Members who declared conflict in this portfolio, yet we are still talking about the portfolio and they are in the room.

The Chair John Ningark

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. I believe two honourable Members were indicating that they were in fact in conflict in the activity of assets management. They were out of the room when we discussed most of the activities and I believe that they were not in conflict towards the end of the discussion. Thank you.

What is the wish of the committee? Mr. Krutko.

Mr. Chairman, regarding approving the overall budget of the portfolio, I believe that section of the budget is part of the overall cost of this portfolio so that is the point that I would like you to raise.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Regarding the overall budget of this portfolio, I believe there were two Members who did declare conflict regarding the assets and liabilities and I believe that the overall budget that was approved, $83,672,000, does consist of that portion of this budget. That is the point I would like to have you check.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, Mr. Krutko is correct. I did declare a conflict of interest on that particular item, removed myself from the discussions and from the House. I had consultations with the law clerk. I was advised that on the overall summary, I could participate without being in conflict. That was why I returned to the room after discussions in the areas I did have a conflict.

Thank you. The honourable Member indicated that he had sought the advice of the law clerk and, thereby, was advised that he was not in conflict when the overall budget was being approved. He has not taken part in the actual discussion. Mrs. Groenewegen.
