Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister McLeod.

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 with one motion being adopted. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Mr. Stewart.

Thank you. Moving on with our agenda, we have Health and Social Services. With that, we will go to the Minister of Health and Social Services for opening comments. Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’d like to welcome the Minister and the NWT Housing Corporation staff here today. First and foremost, I want to say that I think, for the most part, Members were quite pleased with the direction NWTHC is taking. The review we did a number of months ago, we did not unveil a lot of earth-shattering issues, but there were certain things that I think we needed to look at and I wanted to basically echo some of those areas. Some of them were raised in today’s opening comments by the Minister and others were not, so I will be dipping back and forth here just so you can capture...

Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. We’ll just take a minute and circulate this motion. The motion is in order.

Again, I’ll rephrase my question. I realize there wouldn’t be any expenses in the 2014-15 Main Estimates. I’m looking for a track record, which is a document that we have before us which indicates no expenses for NWT Days in Ottawa. We know it was funded within, but I guess for completion it should show up here as a reference point in this document. So if it’s not in this document, if the Premier or staff could indicate where it was captured in preparing these main estimates. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Minister McLeod.

Okay, committee. We will commence after a short break.
