Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have two areas in general. One is dealing with the $1.5 million for Royal Oak and the other one is dealing with the $800,000 for the airport. If he wants to be specific, we say we are getting the money back, but I believe in relation to the monies we are getting supposedly back through Royal Oak, it is based on the price of gold. I do not think we have seen gold at $400 an ounce for quite some time. The same arrangement regarding the airport.
I would like to know exactly how we intend to get the $800,000 back from that expenditure and how is it a benefit to all the communities in the north, not just one location?

May I suggest, Mr. Chairman, that we proceed to detail and as these issues come up I will answer them in a comprehensive way and will respond to any questions or supplementary questions that my colleagues ask in relationship to their concern as to where this money is being well spent and to some degree what the return on investment is. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, it might be okay for the Minister, but for myself, I would like to consider maybe putting a few motions forth on these particular matters. That is why I believe that this is the time to ask your question, so you can have an opportunity to draft your motion, so when you do come to that item and you want to table a motion you can at least have an opportunity to draft one. I think to be fair to people who want an opportunity to consider a motion that we answer questions now.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask the Minister, at the time, regarding the $800,000, what is the advantage to the City of Yellowknife regarding the taxes and what not and why are those revenues not coming to this government?

Mr. Chairman, you are in charge. You give me direction and I will take it, but the normal procedure is that we go to detail and we deal with it at that time. If you so wish me to respond to my honourable colleague, I will. You are in charge.

Just a question, Mr. Chairman. Regarding the economic strategy, is that money coming out of that particular budget? Where is that money coming from?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I believe there is a contract that was just let for somewhere in the range of $300,000. Is this where that $300,000 came from? Where did that money come from?
