Thank you, Mr. Handley. Government accounting, negative $27,000, not previously authorized. Ms. Lee.

Thank you very much. I'm sorry about that, I wasn't matching two and two together. Here under that GA management, it says that there will be a cancellation of a trip to the Association of Financial Administrators' meeting and a comptrollers' conference in PEI. It will reduce the replacement of equipment and of software upgrades. Mr. Chairman, as you're aware, we've had lots of discussions in and out of this House and in committees about the expenditures on computer equipment and software upgrades. There were suggestions made by some Members that maybe we should be upgrading the software, or even hardware less often in order to save more money, or maybe some of that equipment could be sent to communities. I do believe that we have been told many times that because of the requirements of the licensing of the software products, that we have to do the upgrades in a timely manner. So, Mr. Chairman, how would this impact the operation of GA management? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Handley.

Mr. Chairman, the government accounting section will manage very well. They indicate that they can do this and still maintain equipment that is capable of meeting their needs in the short term with basically little or no impact. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm looking at the next section in the detailed analysis, talking about reporting and collections. I must say that this is pretty detailed information. One of the items for a $1000 cut says no longer provides 75 printed copies of the OAG report. We are right down to the number of copies here. But it does say that the impact of this will be that some of these reports will only be available online. So may I ask the Minister as to what are these reports, who uses them, what information does that convey, so I could access as to what the impact of that may be? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Handley.

Mr. Chairman, there are small items, but if we don't watch our $1000 items, then it's very difficult to manage the big ones, as well. There are two kinds of reports here. The office of the Auditor General's reports, there are 75 copies of contract reports which are provided to departments, but they're also available online. Rather than duplicating, then departments can access the reports online. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Government accounting, not previously authorized, negative $27,000.

Budgeting and evaluation, not previously authorized, negative $93,000. Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, under budgeting and evaluation, the reduction of $93,000, there is no information in the detailed report about that item. May I get a breakdown on that reduction? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Handley is indicating Mr. Voytilla.

Thank you, Mr. Voytilla. Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. May I ask a question as to what sort of legal services this section normally obtains? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Voytilla.

Thank you, Mr. Voytilla. Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Would this section be responsible for negotiating the financial arrangements necessary under the Deh Cho Bridge Act? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Handley.

No, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could I ask what is the total budget of legal services under this section in the first place?
