Thank you, committee.

Again, I appreciate the Minister’s ongoing commitment and steadfast resolve in being true to his word.

Minister Ramsay also went on to say on October 24, 2013, “It’s not an issue about funding and it shouldn’t be an issue of funding.” With the main estimates and ITI before the House later today, is there a budget for lifeguards for this year’s budget? Thank you.

Committee, we are on page 12-33, activity summary, economic diversification and business support, grants and contributions, $13.858 million. Agreed?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a clarification question on the energy contributions under the $1.6 million. I notice in the description it talks about an Energy Plan charrette. Are we planning to have a follow-up or is that a follow-up to what we had before? Thank you.

I’m getting detail. Seeing no general comments, we’ll go into detail. Is that right, committee?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With the cold weather today, it’s really hard to start talking about summer and our beaches, especially about safety. Recently, the coroner tabled a report on the findings of a young boy’s accidental drowning on June 27, 2013, at Fred Henne Territorial Park. Within the coroner’s report, there are strong recommendations and comments about the assistance of the Royal Life Saving Society of Canada, methods that this government should be following to make our beaches safer.

Sadly, it is also mentioned that all levels of protection must be a priority and implemented before...

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Committee, we are on 12-30 to 12-33. I have Ms. Bisaro.

So this money is given to the NWT geoscience office for redistribution. Does the department have any performance measures, evaluation or audit tools in connection with this money?

Thank you, committee. Sergeant-at-Arms, will you please escort the witnesses into the House, please and thank you.

Minister Miltenberger, if you’d like to introduce your witnesses to the House, please.

I tend to have to disagree a little bit here with the Minister. If we wanted to work more expeditiously, these type of questions, if you go back to Hansard, these have been asked over two years ago, and we’re only seeing this now, almost year three into our term here. I agree, the website that was designed for potential film industry executives to use is a good tool, but three years later we’re only now starting to think about investing into a rebate program.

I’m a bit disappointed only because the film industry is very nomadic and if you don’t do things to react more intensively, you notice...
