Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question is to the department as a whole, if there was anything else?

Mr. Chairman. The question is, does the department as a whole have any cuts? Is that the question?

Yes, I believe it was, but I will ask Mr. McLeod to rephrase his question. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will rephrase the question. Are there any cuts, any contracts to be deferred in the Deh Cho from within his department?

Mr. Chairman, I will ask Mr. Rattray to respond to that, but I am not aware of any cuts that the Member is talking about.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have no cuts that are planned at the present time. There are no capital projects that were previously identified for those communities and consequently there has been no change in them.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question in regard to the renovation of the Laing Building and Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the information that the Minister provided as requested by the committee members. I think that the information that the Minister provided in terms of the history of the renovation of the building and the different options that were considered by past Assemblies, confirms what I was hoping that he would confirm, which is that the building needs work and that renovating that building is the most economical option. With that, my question is: I see in the interim budget there is $445,000 allocated for the first four months of this year, but the target is $3.5 million. I am wondering if that target represents the whole 100 percent of the project and if that target was meant to be spent this year?

Mr. Chairman, the $3.5 million is not the whole project. There is work to be done in future years. It is certainly our intention to complete that amount of work over the course of the coming year. However, we are looking at some delays in the project just as we firm up with the department's organization which will be in the building. That may result in deferral of some of the work into next year, at which point we would be looking at re-profiling the funding.

I wonder if the Minister could provide us with the information as to what work is going to be done with this interim budget and if whether or not that meets a minimum requirement to sort of keep the project floating, so to speak. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
