Madam Chair, I have a question in regards to the recovery from the government's insurer. I believe we have heard on a number of occasions from the Minister of Education that the funding for the Fort McPherson school from the insurer was nowhere near what they thought it was going to be. I am wondering if the Minister could give me a better idea what the amount would be in terms of dollars?

It would be difficult. Again, I am not trying to avoid the question, but it would be difficult to quantify what

that is going to be because we are under discussions right now with the insurance brokers. I will say this much, if there is a shortfall in funding, that has to be eaten by the Department of Education and they understand that. Just for clarity purposes, there is in our overall insurance policy, Mr. Steen, there is a million dollars deductible that we have in place, but I would not be able to quantify with the day, did we get the $8 million, did we get $7.5. I can assure you though that any shuffling of dollars Mr. Dent and his department will be, and have agreed to, finding the money from within. Thank you.

Madam Chair, the figures shown for Fort McPherson is $1.4 million. Surely the insurance would be more than $1.4 million?

Yes, Madam Chair. No, that project was under way. All that is just a carry over for the work that was not completed during this period of time to the next period of time. That is all that is. That is not the insurance recovery.

Thank you, Madam Chair. In regards to the insurance for the school in Fort McPherson, what if the insurance is higher than what the cost to replace it is? Will that money go to McPherson to pay off that $250,000 that is being debated in this House?

I do not think that there is a chance in heaven that will happen, but if it does, then I think it would only be appropriate, if we were even fortunate, remotely, in a million in one chance to get it to put it against the deficit, but I do not think we will be in that position, Mr. Krutko, to get a windfall on an insurance policy, to be very blunt with you. We do have a million dollars deductible in this government and I would have to check with Mr. Nielsen and his department, even into that deductibility I am assuming we have. I do not know of any occasion in the time I have been around where we are actually going to get more than what we have asked for. Thank you.
