Mr. Dolynny.

Daryl Dolynny Range Lake

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Maybe just a point of clarity here. This Legislative Assembly amount, I believe these were funds that were put in place from investment funds that are now in the hands of government to control for very specific enhancements and improvements to the facility of the Legislative Assembly. Aside from what we are seeing here as a new phone system, which I believe is a separate entity, the enhancement to the Water’s Edge Park of $147,000 and improvements to increase accessibility of $56,000, the $147,000 and the $56,000, is that just the lapsed money from this fund? Will that include the total amount that was put aside from the Building Fund organizers to the structures and enhancements that were promised? Thank you.

The Chair Robert Bouchard

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Minister Miltenberger.

Michael Miltenberger Thebacha

That’s correct, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.

The Chair Robert Bouchard

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Mr. Dolynny.

Daryl Dolynny Range Lake

No further questions, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
