Mr. Speaker, there is no other plan similar to what we had originally proposed. What I am talking about is an ongoing process for government to be as efficient as possible.

Thank you. Second supplementary, Mr. Picco.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that leads me to believe that there is something suspicious going on here. It is not the original plan. It is another plan. Mr. Speaker, I will try to articulate this question. Is the Minister then trying to identify areas of duplication and inefficiencies in the different departments that were proposed to be amalgamated, but are not being amalgamated according to the original plan, because now he has a new plan that is not as same as the single plan? I asked a question, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. The lead Minister on the amalgamation plan. Mr. Arlooktoo.

Mr. Speaker, let me assure the Member before he starts going off again. Two weeks ago, the Member did create a fuel contamination crises, then a housing crisis, then a library crisis, now there is no amalgamation crisis, there is no other plan. Let me assure him again.

Thank you. Final supplementary, Mr. Picco.

Mr. Speaker, I mean, I heard your earlier ruling saying that the Minister should not be answering questions to provoke a debate. So I am not going to rise to his bait offered me today. Needless to say, my question was can the Minister explain to me where his department is looking to identify the duplications and the inefficiencies which he responded to Mr. O'Brien, which he did not respond to when I asked him earlier. So I am not trying to debate the man. I am not trying to argue with the man. I am just asking a sensible question for the sake of crisis. Mr. Speaker, so that was my question, where are the areas of duplication and inefficiencies within these departments that he is trying to eliminate? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Picco. Mr. Arlooktoo.

Mr. Speaker, the two departments that I run, the Housing Corporation and the Department of Public Works, has endured some severe cuts in the past year and will do so in the following year. I cannot speak for the Minister of Transportation's plans, but I know that all the Ministers are under very clear instructions from FMBS to ensure that we keep looking inward to make sure that there is no duplication, et cetera within their department. I would be glad to go over whatever we have come up with in the next couple of weeks when our departments come up in the budget session.

Thank you. Oral questions. The honourable Member for Inuvik, Mr. Roland.

Thank you. Mr. Todd.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am not fully aware of this issue in terms of the negative implications of the high temp system so perhaps maybe my colleague, in a supplementary, could elaborate more so I would be in a position to give him the appropriate response, so that he would then be enlightened as to what our position was as it relates to selling staff houses in Inuvik with respect to the high-temperature system. Thank you.

Thank you. Perhaps, the honourable Member could clarify the question. Mr. Roland.

Thank you. Mr. Todd.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Now I understand the issue and I apologize to my colleague. I had forgotten that Inuvik was on this utilidor system, which is unique to Inuvik. I am not aware, to be quite frank, whether or not this issue of the costs related to this high temperature system was in fact considered in the sale of staff housing. I would have to review that with my staff and get back to my colleague. So I would hope so, but I am not up on this issue, which is out of character for me of course, but up on this issue with respect to this high temperature system. I want to assure my colleague that I will look into it this afternoon and of course and we occasionally do, deal with it early tomorrow morning. Thank you.

Thank you. Supplementary, Mr. Roland.

Thank you. Honourable Mr. Todd.

Well I do recognize that my honourable colleague does talk from lofty towers, but I will assure him that we will look into this situation and get back to him, hopefully by tomorrow morning. Thank you.

Thank you. Oral questions. Mr. Erasmus.

Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance. On Friday, I had asked the Minister a question regarding a central clearing house for students. I believe that the Minister had misunderstood my question, however it was my last supplementary question. I did not have an opportunity to ask him to clarify it so maybe I could just ask it again. What I had intended to ask was, once we get this student employment strategy in place for the summer, is it possible to have a central clearing house in Yellowknife for the Yellowknife students, not for the whole of the NWT or even for the western NWT?

Thank you. Mr. Todd.
