Thank you, Mr. Kalgutkar. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. We will go to Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have spoken on more than one occasion about this government’s loophole policy with its manual self-reporting remittance portion of the GNWT tobacco tax. As I have stated clearly, this government’s open-door reporting process, which has the potential for exploitation by out-of-province wholesalers and local retailers, begs to put into doubt this government’s ability for accountability and public trust.

So, why once again does this Member feel the need to bring this issue before the House? One only needs to look at the recently tabled public accounts for 2012-2013 to...

Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. Mr. Campbell.

Thank you, Mr. Campbell. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. For that response we’ll go to Deputy Minister Campbell.

Thank you, committee. Please escort the witnesses in.

Good evening. Mr. Beaulieu, please introduce your guests for the Chamber.

Thank you, committee. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses in.

Speaker Jacobson, please introduce your witnesses to the House.

I appreciate the Minister’s response on that. Again, these are new entries, so I think we need to get a baseline. What we’re acquiring here as we’re passing this budget, we also have administration services at $32,000, again with no previous history whatsoever. Can the Minister describe what this entry is all about?
