Page 11-8, information item, transportation, infrastructure investment summary. Questions? Mr. Ramsay.

That’s good news, but, as the Minister said, I think we’re looking at very specific areas around communities and I don’t think we want to wait until we’ve done a forest inventory for the Northwest Territories. We want to know, you know, within a reasonable time limit of communities, what is the sustainable harvest rate for that forest. I would appreciate it if the Minister could provide an update, assuming it’s available, and demonstrate progress on that file because, again, we can have all the strategies we want, but if we don’t have the research information and the know-how on the ground, we...

Page 11-10, Transportation, information item, active position summary. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. At no point have I said that this information happened to go to me directly. I am seeking legal advice as an intervener. As it happens, I resigned from intervenership just last week, but if I get advice to step out of committee when this comes forward, I will do that. I have not spoken once about me getting this information directly. I have spoken about committee. I think due process as the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources committed to includes responding to the request from both of those committees for input and any response.

Speaker’s Ruling

Page 6-26, activity summary, Municipal and Community Affairs, School of Community Government, grants and contributions, contributions, $760,000. Agreed?

Page 6-40, information item, Municipal and Community Affairs, regional operations, active positions. Any questions?

That is correct. Public safety. Have you got that, Minister? We are under program delivery details, community government, grants and contributions, $200,000. Minister McLeod.

Thanks to the Minister. I appreciate that commitment. I wonder if the Minister has had a chance to look into it to see if it’s something onerous about the application. Maybe, rather than a question, I’ll just ask him to commit to making sure it’s not an overly difficult process that’s stymieing people. I’ll leave it at that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are to the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources as the lead Minister on the Joint Review Panel review of the MGP and it follows up on some of my questions I asked a couple or three weeks ago. The process established by the National Energy Board for public comment is peculiar, not only in that the final public hearings will apparently be held before the federal and territorial governments have responded to the report. The process also contains no mandatory requirement to make public the positions that the two governments take to the JRP...

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Just a comment. Committee, we’re on page 6-25, activity summary, Municipal and Community Affairs, School of Community Government, operations expenditure summary, $2.950 million.
