Thank you, Madam Chair. I would like to go to the section that says that part of this supp is $2.7 million for utility costs at Stanton hospital. Could the Minister give us some detail on which utilities, and what period of time, and so on? Thank you.

Thank you. It will certainly be interesting to see what it is on an annual basis. Can the Minister of Finance shed any light on why the cost of utilities was not up to the landlord, rather than up to the tenant? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The Stanton territorial P3 agreement determined the responsibility for payment of utilities, and by doing it in the current way and having the GNWT pay the utility costs directly, it eliminates the need for any administration fees being paid to the P3 partner. Thank you, Madam Chair.
