I am referring to permits that have to be taken out to put in a gas system as compared to an oil system.

I was wondering, Mr. Chairman, if I could maybe get some information on the study that was done to determine where they justify going back to diesel fuel in the Diamond Jenness School, including all of the costs that were involved in getting that whole fuel oil system set up again, all of the piping, the tank, the new burners, and how they justify going back to diesel fuel as a cost-saving measure. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, yes, we can provide that information. Just for information on the Diamond Jenness School, I believe there was a minimal amount of work that was required because the old oil system was still intact.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted clarification on the other expenses. Mr. Rattray had indicated some dollars for salary and benefits associated with that $20 million item. Can he confirm that, please?

Mr. Chairman, I was working off of a list that included both the salaries and other O and M expenses. The Member can notice on the page that there is $9.9 million in compensation and benefits and $20 million in other expenses. I was working from that base of about $31 million. As Mr. Dent indicated, my math was close, but not 100 percent accurate. I tried to weed out the salary and wage component and leave just the $20 million for other O and M.

Okay. Mr. Dent's estimation was $2 million. Just a yes or no answer. So there is no salary and benefits dollars within the other expense portion of the budget?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am just looking for some information here, knowing this is the area the department works with, systems and communications. I believe the department works with NorthwesTel on behalf of the residents of the Northwest Territories. What would the process be for a community who wanted to try and expand the services they have in the community? For example, cell service or other expanded services to phone lines instead of your basic phone line? Call waiting, call display, things like that. What would the process be for communities to try and access that?
