Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. We’ll go to Minister McLeod.

Question has been called. The motion is carried.

---Carried

I’d like to thank the Minister today and our witnesses, Mr. Stewart and Mr. Anderson, for joining us. Sergeant-at-Arms, if you could please escort the witnesses out of the Chamber.

Thank you, committee. Just for the record, with this motion we have concluded consideration of Northwest Territories Housing Corporation. Does committee agree?

So, for clarity purposes, NWT Days that occurred last year around this time in 2013 were actually paid for and accrued in the main estimates of the 2012-2013 budget. Is that correct?

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Moving on with general comments, I have Mr. Bouchard.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Welcome back to the Premier and staff. It’s just more of a question of curiosity, not really affecting the budget for 2014-15 but more for completion of the picture. I want to draw everyone’s attention to the very last line of this activity summary to NWT Days in Ottawa. We all know the Premier has made comments in the House that this was funded within the department, but this activity deals with the expenditure and there is nothing indicated here under main or revised for expenses for NWT Days in Ottawa. Maybe we could get some clarity as to why it was not in this...

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Moving on with general comments, I have Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Is committee agreed?

Thank you, Ms. Bassi-Kellett. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, committee. I’d like to thank the Minister here today. I’d like to thank our witnesses, Ms. Bassi-Kellett and Ms. Beard, for joining us today. Sergeant-at-Arms, if I can get you to escort the witnesses out of the House. Thank you.

As agreed upon by committee, we are going to continue discussions today with Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations. With that, I’ll turn the floor over to Premier McLeod to see if he has any opening comments.

Thank you, Ms. Bassi-Kellett. Mr. Menicoche.
