Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Minister Michael McLeod.

Thank you, committee. I will ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort the witnesses in and the Minister to introduce them. Thank you.

Minister Miltenberger, please introduce your witnesses.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister Miltenberger.

Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Tabled Document 11-16(3), NWT Main Estimates 2009-2010, and Tabled Document 17-16(3), Supplementary Appropriation No. 3, 2008-2009, and would like to report progress, with two motions being adopted and that consideration of Tabled Document 17-16(3) is concluded, and that the House concur in those estimates and that an appropriation bill to be based thereon to be introduced without delay. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

I have a last question. It seems like we keep getting surprises thrown at us in different ways, certainly around the world now. If there was a case where a winter road couldn’t be put in because of climate conditions or weather conditions, do we have emergency plans in place for resupply? That might be Public Works and Services, but I imagine this department would be working with them on that. Thank you.
