Thank you, Madam Chair. The $16.3 million that the Member is asking about is mostly computer hardware and software. Approximately $15.7 million is computer hardware and software, and there are some other services in there, such as a little bit of travel for $180,000, purchase services, some contracts for $100,000, and just other miscellaneous items. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I heard several items that were mentioned there. I am just wondering why they are not laid out that way instead of just saying "other operations"? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I am going to ask ADM Brennan just to speak to why things are organized in this manner because it becomes confusing for me, as well. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I don't think I have a good answer for this other than that is the format of the main estimates that has been provided to the department. We can bring that comment back. Thank you, Madam Chair.

In that list, I heard "contracts." Could the Minister just expand on what type of contracts are in this other operations section? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Without me spending too much time finding it here in all of the different pages, I am going to ask ADM Brennan if he can find it within his notes. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Again, contract services is $100,000. Most of the work that is done by the technology service centre is done in-house, so this takes care of all of the, basically, network, hardware, mobile devices for the GNWT. Occasionally, some money is needed to consult contractors to come in and assist on some of that work there. It's basically $100,000 that is for work that we can't do ourselves. Sometimes, it's due to capacity issues, and sometimes, it's for a special skill set that we don't have. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. That gives me a little bit more clarity. Thank you. The other item that I looked at is "other public agencies" on the same page. Can the Minister just explain what other public agencies they are making reference to in this line item? Thank you.
