Committee, we’re on 8-31. I can go back to Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Tabled Document 22-17(5), Northwest Territories Main Estimates 2014-2015, and would like to report progress. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I’m just doing some quick math here. So in essence I think the Minister said overall new money initiative, if my math is correct, is two million six-some thousand dollars. With this new money, is this something that we’ll look forward to seeing on an annual basis as we build future budgets? I mean, are we seeing this grow, is there a force of growth factor in that number or is that just a starting figure for the 2014-2015 budget? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. We’ll treat that as a comment. Thank you. Page 8-31, activity summary, community programs, operations expenditure summary, $99.116 million. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Moving on with questions on this page 8-17, I have Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. To the motion. Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, committee. Does committee agree that we’ve considered and concluded the Department of Health and Social Services as a whole?

Again, this department shares a responsibility with other departments in this government to make sure that that information is readily available. On top of that, if you look in that same database, again, Department of Health has a shared responsibility. The last annual report on drinking water was tabled in 2011. In 2011. That’s quite a long time ago. Again, what is this department going to do to make sure that that information is readily public? ‘

Thank you, committee. Page 8-24, activity summary, health services programs, grants and contributions, $158.361 million. Does committee agree?
