Is the nine percent over and above that, the administration fee?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have been speaking to the Minister on the whole idea of trying to work with the communities to eventually allow them to take over this responsibility. A good example is the water truck services in Fort McPherson. It's been going on two years since we switched over to the new water source. When will this department have a rough calculation and estimation of what the real operational cost of that system is going to be? We heard it was going to take a year. We are going on two years now. How long will it be before we have an actual cost breakdown of what the operational costs will be of providing that service?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. When the contract runs out with the existing contractor, we would have a year's operation which we could then use as a judgement of what it would cost to operate on an annual basis. It's also the figure that MACA is waiting for so that MACA can adjust the...(inaudible)...to the communities.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Does the department have a breakdown of the costs for the last year? We are almost going into two years of this operation now. The hamlet wanted, before they took it over, to have the actual costs associated with running that operation. Knowing your department is responsible for overseeing this project, do we have the cost breakdown to date based on the month-to-month cost calculations of this project? You estimate $676,000. What is that cost based on a monthly breakdown?

Mr. Chairman, the community does have all of the information in terms of the costs of the operation because we are billing them back for it.

I didn't ask if the hamlet had the information. I asked if you had the information. You had the information and gave it to somebody else. Do you have the information?

What is the average monthly cost of this operation? It's going to be higher in the winter, less in the summer. Do you have an actual breakdown cost? From what I heard, it was costing $18,000 a month just for diesel fuel. Is that an accurate figure? Could you tell me what's the cost associated? What is the breakdown of that cost per month?

That works out to about $56,000 per month.
