Mr.
Chairman, I stand
corrected. Their share is $190,000.
The breakdown — and I might as well give this to Members — was based on the percentage of the drawdown. For the departments that had the larger amounts of drawdown through the exercise over the year, we looked at that drawdown and applied it to the $15 million figure. For example, Executive Offices got $77,000; Human Resources, $800,000; Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations, $54,000; the Financial Management Board Secretariat, $225,000; the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation, $133,000; Finance, $57,000; Municipal and Community Affairs, $168,000; Public Works and Services, $1.381 million; Health and
Social Services, $6.137 million; Justice, $1.362 million; Education, Culture and Employment, $2.464 million; Transportation, $1.61 million; ITI, $190,000; and Environment and Natural Resources, $342,000, for a total of $15 million.
As I stated earlier, those numbers don’t compare in a straight-across comparison because the drawdown in the supplementary appropriation over the last number of years has been significantly higher. We felt that on a percentage of drawdown, applying it in this way would allow departments to do the proper planning as we go forward.
As Members are aware, we’ve also set a 3 per cent growth rate, a 3.5 percent total growth rate of government expenditures over the next cycle of our business planning. We’re going to have to sit down and go through that business plan to see if we can in fact meet that target.
