Thanks for that information. And of course, there’s Deline, which is, I think, close to a final agreement, in the Sahtu. With the Tlicho, I believe they have the ability to draw down powers. Have we reached that point? Are they at the point where they’re ready to do that or what’s the situation on that front?

So are we, just for my clarification, booking the value of the estimated cost of remediation or are we booking dollars to pay for the remediation, if you get my drift.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would just like to get on top of this business. The contributions to the NWT Power Corporation are not territorial power subsidy funding. Am I right in that assertion? Thank you.

Thank you to the Minister for that. Just in terms of cultural programming, I know that’s important in our system. Do we provide that in all our corrections facilities? Is the Minister comfortable with the degree of cultural programming that we’re offering?

By bilateral, we mean the Aboriginal government and ourselves. Is that correct?

Thank you. Yes, the Minister is outlining many of the reasons that I support this project, but I’m striving for transparency here, as I’m sure he realizes. So, yes, this will generate revenues once it’s paid off. I’ve had a lot of investments on the basis of that. Some of them manage to get paid off and others didn’t. How long do you think, is there a forecast on paying this off? I realize in a full costing accounting approach that, in fact, there are many benefits that should accrue very early on the moment that things are hooked up here. Thank you.

My last one. I see our federal transfer grant from Canada still remains a very large proportion of our budget, and I believe 2014 was the end of our current agreement on the formula for that. Could we just get an update? Does that happen during this fiscal year we’re discussing, and where are we in renewing and is there anything that concluded that the Minister could share with us?

Thanks to the Minister. What are these? Are they in-house services or are they accessing Health and Social Services' services? We just heard, I don’t know if you had the opportunity, but many of us attended the Early Childhood Development Conference and we learned that in 50 percent or more of FASD-assumed people, actually it’s trauma from early life experiences rather than FASD. Obviously, the assessment side is very important, especially when we have people that are returning to the corrections repeatedly. What sort of resources do we have to help deal with those sorts of things and are they...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just in terms of tables that we’ve got going, I think for sort of land claim settlements it’s Dehcho and Akaitcho and the rest are self-government negotiations. Do I have that right?

Thank you, and thanks for the additional details. That was my next question, was to what degree this would be a self-financing project, and I believe I heard the Minister say that the anticipation is that this would be, to some degree, a self-financing project. Maybe I can just get that confirmed. Thank you.
