Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am here to present Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 4, 2014-2015. This document provides for an increase of $48.928 million to the capital budget.
The most significant items in this supplementary estimates are:
1. $40 million for the Department of Transportation
to respond to revised cash flows required to accommodate the accelerated construction schedule of the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway Project;
2. $2.9 million for the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources, $2.6 million for the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment, and $1.4 million for the Department of Public Works and Services to recognize the tangible capital assets that were transferred to the GNWT upon devolution implementation;
3. $700,000 for the Department of Transportation
to replace the existing lighting system at the Norman Wells Airport; and
4. $330,000 for renovation upgrades at Chief
Julius, Mangilaluk and Colville Lake schools to accommodate Junior Kindergarten.
I am prepared to review the details of the supplementary estimates document. Thank you.
