Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again I thank the Minister here. I just want to make one thing perfectly clear that just still doesn’t add up. So, we were reminded multiple times by the Minister of Health that on August 6, 2015, the Department of Health and Social Services was informed of this digital imaging technical issue, and then on the very same day, the vendor was brought in. So, I believe everyone would be a little sceptic that nothing works that timely and this fast in this government.

So, can the Minister indicate, is it possible that this issue was known by the department prior to August 6...

Thank you. Continuing with questions on tourism and parks, I have Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Committee, we’re on page 57, services to public, infrastructure investments, $365,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Blake. I’ll treat that as comment here. General comments, NWT Housing Corporation. We have Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you very much. I appreciate that. So, my final question on this one, from the department’s standpoint in terms of having an impact or a negative or positive impact on the commercial space available in any type of town or village, at what point or what critical impact does the vacancy rate have in terms of the economics of that town or village or city? Does the department have a certain target number? What I mean is when the vacancy of commercial real estate gets above a certain 7 percent, does that have a negative impact on the so-called rates in that area that the government is working...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you for your wisdom there. Thank you very much. I guess when we’re talking about sections of the road, I think it’s important for us to make sure that we’re describing the right sections. People looking back at transcripts are trying to figure out what exactly does this mean. I think anyone would not disagree that the 100 kilometre stretch between here and Behchoko is probably one of the most difficult sections of highway probably in the Northwest Territories and probably one of the most well-travelled ones in the Northwest Territories, so any improvements in that...

Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Continuing on with questions on the court services activity, I have Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. McLeod.

The impact, Minister, on Yellowknife housing with this budget.
