Yes, Madam Chairperson. The people the Member are referring to are seasonal workers that do frequently put in overtime. We have checked, and there is no one who earned enough overtime over the summer to be paid all winter. All of the overtime that people are paid for is approved by the supervisor, and we certainly continue to monitor to make sure it is not excessive or unnecessary. There is no one who got paid all winter as a result of their hours they put in the summer.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Could the deputy minister indicate whether this has happened in the past? Is this the first year that this has not happened in the immediate two or three years?

To my knowledge, there has never been anyone who has been a seasonal worker for RWED who has earned enough overtime in the summer to be on full salary all winter. People frequently draw unemployment insurance, people take other jobs, but no, in terms of full salary, there is no one that I know of.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Other people that worked in the department know them, know of it happening and I know of it happening because the person showed me his cheque in March. Perhaps we could let the deputy minister know at another time. I do not think it is appropriate to devolve names in this place so, as I said, I will undertake to provide the deputy minister with that information at another time. Thank you.

Mr. Erasmus, apparently we have already done what is on page 11-20 in the capital relating to that starts on page 11-26 which is coming up. Mr. Erasmus.

Thank you, Mr. Erasmus. Mr. Erasmus, as I explained we have operations and maintenance on page 19. It is the breakdown of what we just agreed to on 11-19 and the detail is on 11-20. The capital comes up later. Mr. Erasmus.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Madam Chairperson, so we do not go page by page is that what you are saying?

The Chair Jane Groenewegen
Thank you, Mr. Erasmus. No, Mr. Erasmus. We go page by page but we do not deal with the detail of every page. If you look at page 11-19 where it says operations and maintenance, $32.537 million that deals with the operations and maintenance portion. The $1.737 million that is for capital starts on page 11-26. This is not a variance from any process that we have been doing all along. This is how we have been doing it. Mr. Erasmus.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Madam Chairperson, if we do not go page by page how are we supposed to be able to keep track of all these individual figures here for each area in the heat of the questioning as Mr. Kakfwi likes to call it, particularly since nobody else seems to want to ask questions.

Well, I believe that most of the areas that are under operations and maintenance have been covered by questions already by Mr. Henry and yourself. We are on page 11-21, grants and contributions, grants $652,000. Agreed?
