I’m still a bit confused. I appreciate the Minister is talking about the Avens project, but I got the impression the planning study the department is doing is bigger than that, it’s looking at the whole territory. If the department is going to support the Avens project and not any other projects within other communities, that’s fine by me because I know how badly Avens needs to expand, not just for Yellowknife but for other communities as well.
I want to return to the Stanton issue and I thank the Minister for the information, but I know the plans for this project. My concern is the financing for the project and the Minister didn’t touch on that at all. If we look at the numbers that we have been presented with, the number that is in this budget is not going to take us very far at all and even over the next three or four years the numbers that are projected are minimal.
So my question to the Minister was that I am exhorting you to get the financing, construction financing in place, and I appreciate that construction is going to take five or six years, but we may not start for 10 years because we don’t get the financing and that’s my concern. We need construction money, not in 10 years’ time but in two or three years’ time. So I’d like to just leave that.
I do have a question with regard to the numbers that are on page 6-2. The large capital projects in this fiscal year, for the fiscal year 2013-14, the main estimates were for about $34.7 million. The revised estimates are for $58.5 million. So they’ve gone up some $24 million or so. I know the Minister talked about a number of projects that are ongoing and we’ve got large capital projects happening, we’re building health centres and so on, but what happens between the main estimates for this fiscal year and the revised estimates? What $25 million did we put into this capital budget? Thank you.
