Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, Mr. Chairman, I can commit as soon as possible once we resolve these issues. I will advise the Baffin members and the Nunavut Caucus and all Members.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Minister had mentioned earlier, and I would like some clarification on this $44 million, that is identified in the book was probably more like $22 million. Did I understand him correctly? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I used the figure of $25 million, I believe. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I take it that figure came about since the preparation of this documentation here then, the $25 million as opposed to the $44 million that is identified?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The $25 million came about as a result of some preliminary estimates we undertook and put forward, I believe it was this past summer or early spring. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am more confused now. Were these documents printed after the negotiations where the figures were on to $25 million now? Are these documents that are in front of us for the present budget printed before we received the $25 million? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, basically, yes. We had a figure, but the public disclosure and the discussions with the Baffin board at that time had been ongoing. We could have gone back and changed this figure, but we chose to continue on. It was not, we thought, a big issue. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wondered whether it was a big figure or not. I think it was a reasonably sized figure but not a big concern right now and the question of when in the future years anticipated, on this particular project, when is the $25 million going to be required? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If it were the regular capital planning cycle and we were paying for it totally within this government, we would have to cash flow the project over a number of years depending on construction fees. But certainly, the bulk of the money would not start until the substantive construction started in the year that it would have happened. As it stands now, because we are looking at the possibility of doing it under the P3 those are the capital requirements of this government, in that respect and will not be as significant. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would relay the same question to each of these projects. If you use the P3, does the Minister anticipate financing would be much easier to get? Would this be required either way, next year or the year after even if it goes P3 or regular GNWT construction? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, with projects of this type of size and magnitude, it would not be expected that any significant draw would be required until, at the earliest, 1999, and subsequent years to that, I believe, under either financing method. Thank you.
