Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On the issue of forced growth, the department feels we can function without the forced growth. The grant and contribution programs that will be affected by forced growth are such things as grant in lieu of taxes, municipal operating assistance, settlement operating assistance, senior citizen and disabled persons' property tax relief, et cetera. I think these are some of the different areas where forced growth is considered.
We were not in a position to put this forward. I think the department is quite capable of going through the interim appropriation funding without the forced growth factor in there. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I would like some clarification. The departments are more than capable of going through the interim process we are dealing with here without dealing with forced growth or they will not need to realize any forced growth in the first four months? I missed that.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, we would require forced growth consideration by the Legislative Assembly in the budget, when we deal with the overall budget. But for the interim appropriation, we could go through with the funding of the interim appropriation for the first three months without the forced growth. Thank you.

Thank you. Will the department be coming back to this House in the mains for forced growth? Or will it be in the form of a supplementary?

Mr. Chairman, I just wanted to keep up here. I wanted to ask, since I know it has been an issue in this House, is the Fort McPherson water treatment plant in here somewhere?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could the Minister indicate if that is for the full scope of the project, or a lesser amount? Thank you.
