Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the answer is that there is not an exact amount stipulated in the Financial Administration Act. It is a direct quote from the Premier, from his comment to Mr. O'Brien on the return to oral question, but with regard to a limit on the amount of dollars that a deputy minister can commit for a lease or renewal, the answer to that is the Minister may delegate that expenditure. What I am seeing here, Mr. Speaker, is a lot of gobbledygook. It seems to cloud the answer. What is the amount specifically delegated by the Minister? Thank you.
