Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will take that as a comment.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is actually quite cumbersome with the $370,000. We allocated some resources to establish a senior policy analysis that was $15,000. The 911, at the beginning, we estimated that we would need money. Let me just look. Actually, Mr. Chair, this is quite cumbersome. I am going to switch it to Gary Schauerte, if you are okay with that.
Thank you. We should have said legal review versus legal opinion. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. The $11 million was actually just a carry-over figure from the previous year. Mr. Chair, I will let Ms. Young expand on that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Originally, when this was proposed, one of the only options was actually the City of Yellowknife. We looked at partnering with them. Sometimes things take more time than I expected at the beginning. When we decided that this was going to go through, we actually did more research, and we found that it was actually not only more cost-effective to partner with the Med Alert team, but it also provides a better service. The City of Yellowknife would have needed infrastructure changes to accommodate it. By providing the service with Med Alert and sharing the services, we can...
Thank you, Mr. Chair. As stated, and I will state it again, if the cabins are used for an individual's family and not shared with the community as a whole, they are currently assessed and taxed. If they are used as a community cabin and all community members are allowed to use that cabin for traditional harvesting and hunting, they are not taxed. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. We did have a graph developed. At this moment, we cannot find it. We can provide it to the standing committee, though. In my recollection, there was a minimum of three to four years, and it was about $2 million that was taken from the lottery funds, as per my recollection, but we will actually commit to providing that graph to standing committee. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think we are all tired at this point. We are preparing to bring the legislative proposal forward this month. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will start, and then, if the chair allows, then I will let Mr. Schauerte expand on it. Municipal and Community Affairs does the assessments in the communities and on Commissioner's land, but Finance deals with the mill rates and the collection of taxes and things. I will let Mr. Schauerte actually expand on that if the chair permits. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As stated earlier, yes, I had made a commitment. We will work actually with the five groups. We are working with them currently anyway, and so we will have a sit down with them and explain how this will impact and how we will cover the multisport games in the future. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
