ENABLING APPROPRIATIONS

Mr. Chairperson (Marcel Laurendeau): As previously agreed, we will now go to page 128, Resolution 26.2 Sustainable Development Innovations Fund $3,200,000.

Mr. Tim Sale (Crescentwood): I have a very brief question for the minister, if he would take and provide us with the information. The ministry moved into fundraising for its dinner a couple of years ago, and it raises money. Brenda Leipsic is the person involved, with whom I had the pleasure of sandbagging in St. Norbert one night. We switched position so she could throw sandbags at me and then I could throw them at her. We had a good time.

An Honourable Member: As long as you threw more than one.

Mr. Sale: Oh, we stayed there for several hours, each trying to outlast the other.

Would the minister undertake to tell us how much was raised, from what companies or sources? In other words, you had to issue receipts to them.

Hon. James McCrae (Minister of Environment): Mr. Chairman, I will take the question as notice and attempt to provide an appropriate response for the honourable member.

Mr. Chairperson: Shall the item pass? The item is accordingly passed.

Resolution 26.2: RESOLVED that there be granted to Her Majesty a sum not exceeding $3,200,000 for Enabling Appropriations, Sustainable Development Innovations Fund, for the fiscal year ending the 31st day of March, 1998.

This concludes the Resolution 26.2 Sustainable Development Innovations Fund.

The hour now being 6 p.m., committee rise.

Call in the Speaker.
