I’ll accept that and maybe just ask the Minister to confirm that so that he does know later. I’m willing to go forward for now.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I also would like to commend committee and the Minister on all the work done on this bill. I think it has come a long ways from when we first saw it, and I think a lot of people were startled about the amount of consultation with the people being affected that had been done and the shortcomings in that process. I’m sure we’ve all learned from that and that we can’t expect any entity to speak for the people other than the people themselves when we go out and do our consultations. I think that’s a lesson learned in this. Had we been more thorough on that front, I don’t...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table the Rules of the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories, dated May 27, 2015.

Mr. Speaker, this document reflects the comprehensive review of the rules undertaken by the Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures to modernize our rules and to better reflect our current practices and procedures. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

I don’t know what to say, Mr. Speaker. What is it going to take? We have a brand new hotel going in this summer; we have the Explorer Hotel being expanded; we have the increasing size of Niven as more and more development takes place there. Somebody is going to get hurt.

When will the Minister fix this situation and protect our people? Thank you.

I didn’t hear an answer to my question there, but I haven’t been totally unsuccessful. Over the seven-plus years I’ve been working on this, we got traffic slowed down a little with the new speed limit and we actually got some streetlights. So there’s been a little progress there, which I appreciated. This is over the course of many Transportation Ministers.

Heroes do not grow on trees. I ask the Minister, would he like to be a hero? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m very pleased to greet a resident of Weledeh, Karen Johnson, and, of course, her daughter is serving as a Page today in the House, Linnea Stephenson, and I’d also like to recognize Jacob Schubert who is also a resident of Weledeh. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don’t think it’s our responsibility alone, obviously, to provide infrastructure for industry, so I appreciate that expectation that industry would participate in reducing the cost to residents and taxpayers.

The one other I had was I was out with Premier McLeod when we erected the wind monitoring pole or tower out at Giant Mine. That’s been two or three years ago now. I suspect it’s been three years ago. Do we know what the findings have been there and do we have the wind resources for wind generation in the capital city? Thank you.

That’s all I had there. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I know in the community energy systems that we’ve looked at, we’ve had a couple of feasibility projects done in communities such as Lutselk’e and Whati, perhaps others, I think maybe Deline, where things are technically feasible but they’re very costly to do. We are in a point, as we’ve heard from the Minister, where fossil fuel prices are down right now. This was highlighted by the Diavik expert on wind. You see this with successful businesses, when prices drop and we know it’s going to be so likely for a period of time, maybe a year or two or three, who knows, they...
