Thank you, Mr. Voytilla. Mr. Bell.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can I just ask then to be officially notified by the Minister in writing as to the date the quantified work plan was provided to FMB with this tentative budget and when the quantified work plan was approved by FMB? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Bell. Mr. Handley.

Yes, Mr. Chairman, we could provide that.

Mr. Braden.

Mr. Chairman, I have a sense that I am speaking from a minority position here in support of the initiative overall. I just wanted to reflect on the nature of the comments and then the detail that has been going on here, Mr. Chairman. I think we have spent an ample amount of time querying the government on process. I think our point has been made and I would urge, Mr. Chairman, that Members take a look at what we have achieved on debating this issue, especially the process part of it. We have a considerable amount of other business to transact and this is a request, Mr. Chairman, for Members to look at what we have talked about and what more can be gained from dwelling on this issue. Can we move forward to concluding this item and getting on with the rest of the supp? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Braden, for your comments. Mr. Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Mr. Handley.

Mr. Chairman, I think what the Premier had said was that we would look at a way, following advice from the Members, of having a more coordinated approach to our energy initiatives. What we are talking about here is a supplementary appropriation for the current year, so we have to look at it in this format. Certainly from whenever a decision is made as to how we are going to structure it, then it would appear in whatever that new structure would be, but this one we have to deal with because it deals with this current year. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. Handley.

Mr. Chairman, it was in the package of information that the committee asked for so it has already been provided. If the Member needs another copy, we could arrange for that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If it is possible, I would like a copy. I was not in the House yesterday when you gave that information, so I would like to get a copy of that.

My question to the Minister is you mentioned a lot of individuals in your comments. It is my understanding that they were involved in the review with regard to the Power Corporation in light of what was happening in Hay River. There was a call for a proposal for power generation and supply for Hay River. That is where this energy stuff came about. You mentioned individuals who were involved in that project but again, you mentioned the same individuals are now involved in this project. Was there a contract in place to do specific work in relation to these two different initiatives or was there an extension to those contracts for them to carry on and do this work that is presently in front of us?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. Handley.

Mr. Chairman, the information we provided was providing following the briefing to AOC, so it was provided some days ago.

With regard to the individuals, three of the individuals were people who had done work on the initial power generation study. This was an extension of the contract.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Mr. Krutko.

When was the new contract issued with regard to the work previous in light of this information? Was there a new contract issued after the conclusion of the work or was there an extension to the existing contract?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. Handley.

Mr. Chairman, it was an extension of the contract, not a new contract.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Mr. Krutko.
