Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The $300,000 that is identified here seems like it is a contribution that we make every year to help the Power Corporation in regard to this. Can the Minister give us a little bit of a description on what is being done this year or what projects we might see some improvements, maybe a variable-speed generator or some other integrated residual-heat system completed with this year with this $300,000? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Vanthuyne. Mr. Guy.

Thank you, Mr. Guy. Mr. Vanthuyne.

Okay. That is great to hear. It is good to know we are making those kinds of investments in renewable alternative energies. No further questions in this activity. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Vanthuyne. Any further questions, committee? Seeing none, I will call the page. Infrastructure, programs and services, operations expenditure summary, $31,885,000. Does committee agree?

Agreed. Thank you. Next, we have regional operations, operations expenditure summary, from pages 247 to 249. Any questions from committee? Mr. Vanthuyne.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Since Yellowknife is considered the North Slave district, let's start by confirming: can the Minister confirm that resources are in this budget for the roadside turnout at Big Hill Lake? I believe there were going to be some resources set aside for some predesign, et cetera. Can the Minister confirm that? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Vanthuyne. Minister Schumann.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Presently, we are working with our own forces internally with the design on this thing. We are working closely with ITI on it, as well. When it comes time to build this, we will be coming forward with appropriate appropriations to build that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Schumann. Mr. Vanthuyne.

I appreciate that. It seems to me that there is at least some effort internally being put toward that. That is appreciated. What was my other aspect that I wanted to raise here on regional? I will defer for now, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Vanthuyne. Next on the list, we have Mr. McNeely.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My question is related to page 248. I think it might fit well with regional management or facilities management. As we all know, the opening of the regional health centre in Norman Wells took place last year. It is a very modern building. Is it standard within the department to have some set-aside money on the after-care of personnel training to get more and more familiar with some of the small problematic issues that might arise with the new building and in the areas of troubleshooting, for example? Are there monies for staff training for these new facilities coming on stream? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. McNeely. Minister Schumann.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. To inform the Member, in this budget year, particularly around the Norman Wells Health Centre, there is $196,000 that is going to be put in there for O and M and upgrades and stuff going on there with the assets. There are two people who are going to be hired in the Sahtu region primarily to support the region. There is going to be an operating engineer and a plumber being hired on staff to dedicate some forces towards the Norman Wells Health Centre. Ongoing training is also another aspect that will continue as we further evolve with our staff on that building. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Schumann. Mr. McNeely.

Nothing further, Mr. Chair. Thank you. It was brought to my attention, so I am satisfied with the reply. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Mr. McNeely. Next, we have Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I have some questions about the revolving funds. Is this the appropriate place to ask them?

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. Guy.
