Thank you, Mr. Chair. We're funded for the maintenance on that building. We do minimal maintenance in terms of keeping minimal heat on to prevent it freezing up, doing the daily checks or whatever required, security checks, keeping minimal electrical power service in place, and once the building is removed, either demolished or transferred to another party, taken off the government's books, then we would surplus that money through the business planning process that used to maintain it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I see that the top item on page 3 is fuel delivery truck for Colville Lake. I understand that we installed some solar panels there and things are working over very well. What's the percentage of the energy supply for the community that's generated by those solar panels now? Thanks Mr. Chair?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don’t have those numbers in front of me, but I believe it's approximately 15 to 20 per cent depending on the time of year and there are periods of the day, for example in the summer where they meet all of the immediate requirements for the community. But those solar panels do offset I believe it's about 15 to 20 percent. In terms of the fuel truck, of course the fuel truck is being used to distribute heating fuel as well as I believe fuel to the airport for purposes there as well and as well as to the power plant. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the response, but I think I heard the words "I think." So could we get a commitment out of the Minister to provide that information to Regular Members? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I'm sorry, I just noticed this. On this page and it's reflected further back there, the money that we're expending on information technology projects is declining. There back in 2015-2016, it was over $2 million, last year it was $1.49 million, this year it's $1.4 million. Are we getting that much better at replacing our information technology or are we just sort of building up a deficit in this area. What's happening, if I could ask the Minister? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
