Thank you, Mr. Ootes. Mr. Ootes has made a motion to report progress. The motion is not debatable. All those in favour? Opposed? The motion is defeated. We will continue. Thank you. I have Mr. O'Brien.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just have one question. Following up on Mr. Henry's comments, my question would be at this point in time, are there any projects that are being worked on or designed as they relate to this proposal or to this initiative? Yes. Are they presently being worked on by DPW or whomever would be involved in this process? Thank you.

Thank you. The honourable Minister, Mr. Todd.

The only projects that I know that there has been considerable discussions on from a non-government perspective, if you want, and we have been asked to attend meetings, has been with the public development corporations and the health boards with respect to the medical facilities. That has been going on now for close to a year, I believe. Thank you.

Thank you, the honourable Member for Arviat, Mr. O'Brien.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just to make sure that I have this straight. You are saying that there have been medical facilities that have not been approved yet, but there is design work being done as we speak? Is that correct?

Thank you. Mr. Minister.

Not that I am aware of, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you. I have Mr. Steen on the list. Mr. Steen.

Thank you. Mr. Todd.

I will not get into a long discussion today. I will get a more detailed response to Mr. Steen, but as Finance Minister I have had to reprofile dollars, for example, some time ago through our supplementary appropriations to Mr. Ng in the Department of Health. We have had to reprofile dollars to Mr. Dent in the Department of Education. They have to come out of general revenues and those general revenues are generated through a series of agreements that we have with the federal government over a number of years. So, I understand what Mr. Steen is coming to and I will endeavour to, as to the best of my ability, answer the issue that he raises. As I said earlier we will report back, hopefully, early next week on how we are going to do that. Thank you.

Thank you. With a couple of seconds to spare I will recognize the clock and report progress. Thanks again, Mr. Todd.

The House will come back to order. We are on Item 21, report of committee of the whole. Mr. Ningark.
