Thank you, Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh. Minister of Finance.

Madam Chair, I think, and I feel like there is a crowd of people around me who will correct me if I'm wrong, but it's essentially that the base buildings, that's the preparatory work so that the renovations can then be done, in simple terms. No, I'm still wrong. I'm going to try. Madam Chair, if I could send it over to director, Terence Courtoreille, please.

Mr. Courtoreille.

I think, just trying to round up what you're saying, is there are two projects. There is a line item for the legacy building renovations, and then it's the building base building modifications. So there are two line items, and why are they broken out into two? What is the difference between a base building and the renovations? If somebody could clarify that, and are there two buildings? One building? Is it the whole Stanton Hospital? Does it include any other buildings? Thank you. Who wants to answer this? Mr. Koe.

Thank you, Mr. Koe. Does the Minister of Infrastructure want to add any details? Please.

Sure. Basically, from a contracting perspective, when they wanted to go in with the new consortium to do the renovations to make it usable, that had to be one contract; but, in order to get to that stage so that the building was at a spot where they could start doing the renovations, we had to remove HBMA, the hazardous building materials. So that had to be in its own contract, because it had nothing to do with this new company that was coming in to do the renovations. So, basically, we had to present the building in a certain state, so that first contract is to get rid of that, all the HBMA, get it so that it's in a state so that we can then hand it over for the second contract. Does that make sense now?

Thank you, Minister of Infrastructure. Did you have further questions, Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh?

Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you for that response. The muddied waters are a little more clear, now. It's always good to get some clarification on this, because this is probably one of the larger allocations of this ask, so it's important that we kind of get that clarification. I have nothing further after that, though. Thank you.

Thank you, Member. Are there any further questions on page 11? Seeing no further questions, does committee agree to move into the detail contained in the tabled document?

All right. So 2020-2021 Supplementary Estimates No. 2 (Infrastructure Expenditures), Department of Health and Social Services, capital investment expenditures, administrative and support services, not previously authorized, $4,881,000. Does committee agree?

Activity two, health and social programs, not previously authorized, $34,439,000. Does committee agree?

Total department, not previously authorized, $39,320,000. Does committee agree?

Can you please turn to pages 12 and 13. I will now open the floor to general comments on the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment, capital investment expenditures. Comments? Questions? Member for Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm looking at the fish processing plant in Hay River, and $9 million. I know this went out for tender and then it came significantly over budget and we're carrying it on and there are some plans to adjust. I guess my first question is: how much of this is federal money? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Member. Minister of Finance.

Thank you, Madam Chair. If I could turn that to Mr. Koe, please.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Koe.
