Thank you, Mr. Speaker. From what I understand and from what I was briefed on, we are not putting any money up front. The agreement is between our Housing Corporation and the village of Stebbins, Alaska. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not know what line I am reading from, but it clearly states the pilot project between the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Alaska Housing Financial Corporation.
It looks to me like this is a pilot project. As a pilot project, the three parties come to the table and put down a portion of the expense. I would like to know what portion of this million dollars is being spent by this government?

Question 171-14(2): Pilot Projects
Revert To Item 6: Oral Questions

David Krutko Mackenzie Delta
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question to the Minister responsible for Finance. How many pilot projects is this government involved in at this time? How much money has this government put forth for pilot projects?
We are making major cuts in certain areas of the government. We are taking projects out of the communities. We are saying this government is broke. I would like to know if there is a slush fund for pilot projects this government is in at this time? What is it?

The Speaker
Thank you, Mr. Krutko. It is a new question directed to the Minister responsible for Finance. There is a lot of detail in there, but I will allow the Minister to respond to it if he so chooses. It would be better as a written question. The honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Finance, Mr. Handley.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I heard two questions there. I will answer one. There is no slush fund for pilot projects.
With regard to the first question that was asked as to how many pilot projects there are, I do not know. I will have to take the question as notice. Thank you.

Question 172-14(2): Interjurisdictional Agreements
Revert To Item 6: Oral Questions

David Krutko Mackenzie Delta
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier know how many agreements we have with other governments or jurisdictions, such as Nunavut, Yukon, Alberta or the state of Alaska? Does the Premier have any idea as to how many agreements this government is involved in at this time?

The Speaker
I will have to rule that question out of order. It is a very broad question. It is not very clear what the honourable Member is asking. If he wishes to re-visit the question in a more direct form that the Minister could possibly answer, I will allow it. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Premier tell me how many international agreements this government is involved in with jurisdictions outside the Northwest Territories?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am not clear. Is that $1 million and $200 million? He mentioned one and 200. Are we talking millions here? Are we talking about $1 million or $200 million, Mr. Speaker?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. I think your question was how many projects or agreements are there, and the Premier did answer anywhere between one and 200. He did not speak of dollars. Supplementary, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like clarification. Can the Minister clarify as to whether he was talking about one project to 200 projects, or was he talking in dollars and cents, $1 million to $200 million? Could he please clarify that ?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I was not talking in terms of dollars. I was talking in numbers, which is what I think the Member had originally asked. I thought he had asked how many, and I said between one and 200. Thank you.
