Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are three stages or phases in this particular allocation. That is, the Member conflict complaint, the Board of Management application and the Special Committee on Conflict Process. Within each of those there are expenditures.

In the expenditures, in compensation and benefits, there was a total of $3,897.35 spent, which was during the Special Committee on Conflict Process. Travel and transportation, there was a total of $9,865.15 spent. That was for Member conflict complaint and also for the Special Committee on Conflict Process. Materials and supplies totalled $2,815.97. That was incurred in the Member conflict complaint and in the Special Committee on Conflict Process, with most of it being there.

Then on purchased services, there was a total of $2,755.93 spent during the Special Committee on Conflict Process. On contract services, spent in each of the three phases, there was a total of $433,131.75, for a total of $452,466.15.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a couple of questions. Were all of the expenses that were associated with the conflict process, the special committee process, right through to the tabling of their report in this House, I believe it was October 23rd?

Second would be, could we get a breakdown of what the contract services relate to? I am assuming that is for lawyers, but could we get the specific clients that these services were provided for by the lawyers?

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. Handley.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I believe this is the total. This is what was submitted to us by the Speaker's Office. In terms of the breakdown, then yes, by far, most of it is contract services for lawyers. I do not know if the Member is asking for a breakdown of that further. If he is:

1. To Peterson, Stang and Malakoe, $80,954.52. This is in support of the law clerk;
2. For Carol Roberts, the Conflict Commissioner, $30,515;
3. Chivers, Greckol and Kanee, lawyers for Jane Groenewegen, $88,556.57;
4. Morley and Ross, lawyers for Carol Roberts, $57,633.74;
5. Lovett and Westmacott, lawyers for Carol Roberts, $40,668.96;
6. Arvay Finlay, lawyers for Carol Roberts, $84,137.57;
7. Hansard transcription, $33,956.25;
8. Robert Marlow, $4,375; and
9. Miscellaneous, $12,334.14.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to ascertain if this was the total for the cost of the special committee. Just a question, there seemed to be four different times where we heard of payments under contract services here for Carol Roberts. Were all of these related to the special committee's work, or were some of them related to different parts of the conflict process?

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. Handley.

Mr. Chairman, we do not have a breakdown of exactly what it was used for, but I am assuming that some of it was related to the Member conflict complaint, some of it to the Board of Management application and some of it to the Special Committee on Conflict Process. The Speaker has not provided us with a breakdown of how much was spent on each area. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Legislative Assembly, operations expenditures, not previously authorized, Office of the Clerk, $1,992,467.

Total department, $1,992,467.

Executive, operations expenditures, Executive Offices, special warrants, Cabinet Secretariat, $776,000. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like a breakdown of what is included under the special warrant approved on January 21, 2002, for $696,000.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Handley.

Mr. Chairman, for legal costs, and this is witnesses' legal costs, there was a total of $161,562.17. For transition costs, which included compensation, benefits and other O and M, there was a total of $533,975.22, for a total of $695,537.40.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On the transition costs, what makes up $533,000?

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Handley.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The transition costs are made up of compensation and benefits, other O and M, which included some duplicate residence costs, and there was also some legal services with regard to the blind trust agreement.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Compensation and benefits, again under transition costs. How much of that makes up the $533,000?

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Handley.
