This, he suggested, was not consistent with principle of good management, and he asked whether the Minister had an acceptable answer.“What makes this expenditure urgent and unanticipated?”Minister Whittaker told the House that as it relates to $9M of the $24M, this was used to pay the wages and salaries to a number of workers in the Region 10 Municipality. He said that the Council had appealed for help, as it was unable to raise the money after it was forced to remove what he called an “illegal toll” to cross the Mackenzie Bridge.Asked how come this happened, given the fact that the Ministry knew that there would be problems for the municipality’s revenue stream in relation to the problem with the toll, Minister Whittaker denied that at the time of the preparation of the budget they were aware that the toll would be an issue.Speaker for the day, Bibi ShadickFLOODSAs it relates to the additional $15M, he said that the Ministry, following the November floods in Georgetown, did an assessment of the conditions in Georgetown and decided that it needs to pitch in.
