Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the Minister has already committed to bringing forward some information prior to session so we can have some discussion about the water treatment plant in Rae, but I do have one other question for him. If you look at the project as it is laid out here, it looks like it's $1.7 and some odd million. Can the Minister clarify whether or not this project had been identified as being over $2 million fairly recently and has now been bowed back and explain whether or not this is the case. If so, could he explain the discrepancy? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As I understand the question, it's whether the total project cost is recently being identified as being higher than what's in the main estimates. Is that correct? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Yes. Recent estimates show over $2 million identified in the plan and now it's showing at $1.775 million. I am sorry I don't have the specific number or the document that it was in, but maybe the document could speak to whether or not this project estimate has come down or has, in fact, been changed.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not aware that the project estimate has been changed. As I think we've indicated, we do know that based on the water source decision, there may be a need to revisit it, but we can certainly look into whether there has been a recent change in the project estimated scope and get back to the Member.

If I could have that information. I recognize that if there is another source then this may be a moot point, but I would like some sort of documentation and if there wasn't a change in project, that's fine, but at least I would like to see something in writing that would explain whether or not this project has changed in scope or the amount of money being spent. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know this is a multi-year item regarding a solid waste disposal at Detah. The total plan for this up to 2007-08 is just over a half a million dollars. I wanted to ask what collaboration may or may not have taken place with the City of Yellowknife, which is, itself, looking at a significant landfill solid waste requirement in the future. Has anything gone on between Detah and the City of Yellowknife on potentially sharing that need? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would have to go back to the department and find out whether or not there was a consultation or any discussions at all between Detah and the city as to the use of their solid waste site.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On cap 5, the Tuktoyaktuk solid waste site with a total budget of a little over $1 million, I am wondering, Mr. Chairman, if the money identified in the capital will be used by the department as intended? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, if I understand the question correctly, the Member is asking if the $400,000 identified for a solid waste site for this year would be used for that particular purpose.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Right now, Mr. Chairman, we have a request from the community to have the funding changed from O and M to capital, so they can use it on the shoreline.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask if that's a common practice, but I would like to ask first if the need for the solid waste site has decreased or is it not needed anymore? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
