I am here to present Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures) No. 5, 2014-2015. This document provides for a net increase of $4.133 million to the 2014-15 capital budget.
The most significant items in this supplementary estimates are:
1. $2.0 million for the Department of Health and
Social Services to advance the cash flow of the Hay River Health Centre Project because construction is ahead of schedule;
2. a total of $1.6 million for the Department of
Transportation for the costs associated
with the Trout Lake Airport Relocation Project, permafrost research along sections of the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk highway, and funding for planning activities on new highway corridors.
I am prepared to review the details of the supplementary estimates document. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
