Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have some questions in regard to the Conflict of Interest Inquiry and the bill for that particular inquiry. I wonder if we could get an indication of or some detail provided to us in regard to the billing from various departments and firms? Does this figure include the amount billed by the amount of time and lawyers' costs and so forth from the territorial government's representation at this?

The Management and Services Board through the chair, Mr. Gargan, has provided the House with the detailed breakdown of the costs that were requested in committee the other day. There are no costs indirectly associated with any legal expenditures that we may have had in House. None.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I note in the detail provided here, I am trying to find the amount provided to the law firm that represented Mrs. Groenewegen. I wonder if I could get clarification on the amount of that?

I believe that requires some detail. I wonder if the Minister has the breakdown? Mr. Minister.

I believe that they are all listed there. Mr. Hamilton will know where they are, but they are all listed there somewhere. One hundred twenty-five thousand, two hundred and twenty-four dollars.

I would also like to ask a question or two on various other areas here. I also note that the firm representing Mr. Mrdjenovich was $137,000 and $65,000 for the firm representing Mr. Bailey. Does this amount for Mrs. Groenewegen represent the total amount that was billed from the firm?

I understand that is $137,000, $65,000 for Mr. Bailey and $297,000 for others, and $704,000 for others. I can read. My only point was that it certainly is a lot of money when it is all accumulated at the end of the day. Mr. Chairman, I do not know if these are all the invoices. I would have to check with Mr. Gargan and Mr. Hamilton. If you just give me a moment, I will do that.
