Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My understanding is, no, that a lawyer of the Department of Justice cannot go in even in camera to share that with committee. The other important thing to note is that we are also working with the Department of Executive and Indigenous Affairs on this. It is a pretty sensitive issue. At this point, no, Justice does not share that information. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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, 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.

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.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

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.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 14)

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.
