Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not claim to be an expert in energy areas, but I do not know if the people out there can tell the difference between what the Energy Secretariat is supposed to do and what the Minister has indicated as to the nuances of differences in these duties.

Mr. Chairman, I want to register very strongly that this is a real problem for me, that we could fork out a million here and a million there. There are millions of dollars being spent on consultation, travel and publications and materials. I guess that is okay if we had plenty of money to spend but we just talked about not having enough money. This would have built one kilometre of road between Rae and Yellowknife.

Mr. Chairman, I want to put the Minister on notice that there will be very little tolerance for this kind of waste of money. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
