Thank you, Madam Chair. Is this money for a new office building or is it to renovate an existing facility?

Just a small question on casual positions: How much is .15? Is that a quarter of a casual?
Committee Report 3-13(3): Standing Committee On Resource Management And Development Report On The Review Of The 1996-97 Main Estimates May 15th, 1996
Thank you, Madam Chair. I have some general comments on the speaking notes from the Minister on stimulating the economy. I am very interested in this area, as we have spoken about creating opportunities and employment in the North a number of times. I believe we have a wealth of resources that we can use, but we are having some problems in the area of marketing or developing those. I would be interested to see if the department has any plans under way or is looking at areas of developing their renewable resources end, not in the area of mining.
Also, as Mr. Steen stated earlier, the work going on with the hunters and trappers is a valuable program and I am glad to see it has continued. That is an area there as well that we can continue to improve on and I hope that we do.
I think we can go a long way in alleviating a lot of the burden in the Territories by helping in the renewable resource area of developing, and relieve some of the burden that is placed on social assistance and so on that people have started to rely on heavily over the years. It would be good to see this department develop some initiatives to bring forward ideas of developing areas of renewable resources. Thank you.
Question 250-13(3): Northern Fuel Prices May 15th, 1996
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Judging from that, can I then take it that there is nothing planned as of yet? Thank you.
Question 250-13(3): Northern Fuel Prices May 15th, 1996
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have some constituents concerned about an issue that would affect many northerners, and that's the price of gasoline. I have a question for the Minister responsible for petroleum products. Does the Minister know if there is any potential increase in gasoline prices this summer?
Question 239-13(3): Status Of Federal Private Member's Bill C-222 May 15th, 1996
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. During the presentation, we were made aware of other groups making different presentations to the subcommittee. Is the Minister aware that the Winery Association wanted to do their own labelling regarding the improvement of health by drinking a limited amount of wine per day?
Question 239-13(3): Status Of Federal Private Member's Bill C-222 May 15th, 1996
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Seeing as this is an important issue for the Territories and we are continuing to do our own labelling program, will the Minister and his department continue to seek ways of influencing or passing the message on to the standing committee that we believe this is an important issue; the whole process regarding the awareness of alcohol?
Question 239-13(3): Status Of Federal Private Member's Bill C-222 May 15th, 1996
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A week ago today, I travelled to Ottawa to make a presentation on behalf of the Minister of Safety and Public Services. I would like to ask the Minister if he's heard any results of our presentation, or results from the Standing Committee on Health. Thank you.
Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy May 15th, 1996
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just to be informed here, how many employees does the Housing Corporation have?
Committee Motion 15-13(3): To Suspend Application Of The Business Incentive Policy May 15th, 1996
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess this would apply to all the numbers we have here on capital. Was there an average per unit being built, a dollar figure attached per unit, and is that how you came about your numbers?
