Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understand that this is for contribution funding to the local housing organization for increased power. My understanding was that power rates had declined. I’m wondering if the Minister could give an explanation of this cost.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Housing Corporation pays the government rate which is not the same as the subsidized rate. It’s the full cost of power.

Wendy Bisaro

Wendy Bisaro Frame Lake

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do have to express some consternation here. We’ve got $1.766 million additional money required for income assistance and the explanation is because it’s increased utilization of income assistance programs. I do have to say that I’m a little surprised that this wasn’t in the 2010-2011 budget, that the department had to come back for a supp for this amount of money. I know that it’s being explained because of the economic downturn, but a year ago at this time when we were going through the 2010-2011 budget I think we were in the throes of the economic downturn and I don’t believe that, well I do believe that the department ought to have known that they were going to incur increased demand for income assistance. I just have to express my disappointment that the estimates weren’t better done a year ago at this time. I think that the department really ought to have known

better. That’s about all I have to say. Really no question there. Just a comment.

I just want to find out from the Minister what’s happening with the wind project to cause this delay in expenditure. I assume that this expenditure will be brought forward. Maybe we can

get a quick update on what’s happening here. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The project has experienced several delays in a number of areas, including clear community support. In September 2010, the Tuk Development Corp ended its joint venture with Dowling Contracting, but there are still some discussions going on with the community. There is still some money in the 2010-11 budget to conclude those assessments. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There’s been active involvement by the Member for Nunakput as well to make sure this project says live and on the rails. The intention is to be looking at establishing a tower this coming construction season and move this project forward, once again with the assistance of the Member for Nunakput to make sure we can have the community support needed to bring this project to fruition. Thank you.

Thanks for that information. Is that, like, the first of three? Is there still three, sort of, modest-sized turbines being planned there? Thank you.
