Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I notice in the Inuvik region that high temperature hot water system. Did these amounts not come under Public Works in previous years and, if so, why are they in the education component?

Mr. Henry, we have already approved the Inuvik region. I will need the committee's permission to go back to the Inuvik region. Is the committee agreed to go back to the Inuvik region?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For clarification, if the total capital has not been agreed to by the committee, then you still cannot ask a question on that page? Is that what you are saying?

Mr. Henry, I had called Inuvik region and then total Inuvik region, and we had agreed to that and then we had gone on to total lands and buildings and we were finally on total capital. We have permission to go back to that item.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for the clarification. Again my question on the high temperature hot water system, I believe that over the past couple of years, we have had approvals for these items under Public Works and Services, if I recall. Could I get some clarification why it is also under Education, Culture and Employment?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My understanding is this $1.2 million has to be budgeted by education because it is a renovation cost and it is separate from the ongoing costs of paying for the use of the high temperature hot water system. This is to convert. We, as a department, had to budget for that $1.2 million renovation cost.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do recall the rationale for this conversion, and it certainly made economic sense. It may not be the appropriate area to ask, but I would be interested in knowing how much the conversion by all departments, and I realize this Minister does not have that information, but I would seek it, how much of the conversion for this particular component has cost over the past, I believe it is three years, since it started?

The Chair Jake Ootes

Thank you, Mr. Henry. The Minister may have that information, but if he does not, it may be more appropriate to put it to the Minister of Finance or Public Works and Services tomorrow during question period. Mr. Miltenberger, do you wish to address the question?
