Mr. Chairman, I think somewhat related to that issue of time are the other items that are listed in here. I know we have not got to detail on some of these other projects yet but we have mentioned the hydro project, continuing funding to aboriginal governments, the establishment of the Energy Secretariat. In all, under this department, Mr. Chairman, the supplementary requests, by my addition, $3.3 million. That is a tremendous amount of work and consultation in a relatively short period of time. I would venture to say that it also involves the time and the attention of a relatively few number of people, as a lot of them are fairly high level consultations.
I guess I question the viability of dedicating this amount of money within the next five months. Is it really realistic this can all be spent and put to good use? Or are some of these numbers, some of these projects perhaps overblown, the expectations are just too high for what can really be achieved in this short period of time?
To bring this down to a question, Mr. Chairman, could the Minister give us a snapshot under each of these specific areas here, the Energy Secretariat, the hydro unit, the aboriginal initiatives -- can these all be expended in this period of time or are there still a lot of things out there that still need to be designed? Thank you.
