If the Minister doesn’t have it, maybe one of his counterparts might have it, so maybe he can suggest a further question to the Minister of Public Works.

Again, with the Technology Service Centre, I would like to know if that project is on budget and are we going to hopefully not see any cost overruns. Could I get a price on that one?

Mr. Chairman, I will refer this to Minister McLeod about the new data centre in Yellowknife for $2.379 million and whether it is on budget.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The new data centre is a multi-year contract that has already been awarded. It is a $7.2 million contract. Work is well underway and the project is currently scheduled for completion by September 2010.

Thank you, Minister McLeod. I think the question also included is it on budget? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not asking questions in spite. I want to make sure that we are trying to be fiscally responsible. We realize we are probably going to have a tough year next year. I want to make sure that we monitor these programs going forward. I think that it is important to get this information hopefully by the time we conclude this. I would just like to ensure that we are on budget and we are trying to control the expenditures on these projects and we don’t have them run away from us like the Deh Cho Bridge.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. That is more of a comment. I won’t refer to the Minister. Next on the list is Mr. Bromley.

Bob Bromley Weledeh
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think that comment that Mr. Krutko made is completely in line with the concern that many of us have, given our fiscal situation and so on. Basically the wording that is used here, “an offsetting amount was lapsed in the 2009-2010 fiscal year,” doesn’t clarify whether the project was on budget, whether exactly the same amount was lapsed as being proposed for expenditure here. If that is actually the case, maybe the Minister could just say yes in every case. These are simply the same dollars and that would clarify it, but if not, then I would like to say that Mr. Krutko’s question is relevant. Are we on target and on budget with all of these projects? We should get an update as soon as possible on that. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, just to point out that we are carrying over lapsed funds from one year to the next, but the issue of the project updates I will refer that to Minister Michael McLeod in terms of a commitment to or is there a request made for information on all of the projects referred to, with your indulgence. Thank you.
