The Chair Conservative Colin Mayes

About $40 million for electrification and other water services and so on within the community. So there has been some work done on that.

I'm not sure if all the committee members did get the minister's response. This was on Friday the 17th.

Would you like a copy of that letter to be sent to the committee?

12:45 p.m.

Was it the minister's answer?

It was sent out on Friday, just so you're aware of that.

Is there anything further?

I have a question, Mr. Chair.

We talked last week about the potential of expanding the notice of these hearings going on. What in fact has happened?

12:45 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Colin Mayes

The chair hasn't any direction on expanding.

We put the ad out on the Canadian Press wire services, at $1,000, to make sure people are aware, so we'll be taking submissions there.

You want to extend....

12:45 p.m.

Liberal

My question, and I raised it last time, was whether it went to the aboriginal media.

12:45 p.m.

The Clerk

Yes.

12:45 p.m.

We'll leave the planning for the subcommittee a little further down the line as we progress through this study.
