Mr. Chairman, this money is only committed when it is voted. Can the money be expended this year or is it required this year? The answer to that is, yes. The discussions on pipeline routing are moving along very quickly. In fact, the budget for the Aboriginal Pipeline Group is greater than the $500,000 that the GNWT is contributing. It also includes a contribution from the federal government of almost $400,000.
Yes, the money is needed this year. If we were to try and cash flow it over a couple of years we would miss the pipeline decision altogether. Thank you.
