Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, could the Minister advise us if this $237,000 or monies sufficient to start up an integrated disease registries system, vital statistics system and a medical travel system were included in the main estimates that we have just passed?

Voytilla

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Several of these projects are multi-year projects, so there would have been an element of them potentially in the 2003-2004 main estimates. The department is giving this money up because the projects are not as far along as they had anticipated. The projects will still be completed and finished in the coming fiscal year. The department believes it can finish the projects off by managing it within the existing 2003-2004 appropriation that they just secured and, if it becomes necessary to look for additional resources, it will be within the overall allocation that the Financial Management Board Secretariat has approved for IT projects for 2003-2004 and is in the 2003-2004 main estimates. So no new money would be asked for for these projects.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, could we find out from the Minister how many square feet are being renovated for this $250,000 and what the average cost per square foot is for renovations? Could we also find out what the government typically has paid for other renovations in office buildings in Yellowknife per square foot?
