Really, if we start adding up the numbers, about 50 percent of this $100,000 is set aside for, basically, travel, accommodations and a function. I’m trying to see how this fits in the original bylaws of the Legislative Building Society. I have a hard time fitting that in.

There are really muddy lines in the water when it looks at legacy and I think the public has shared their concern about this a number of times as well. Let’s be clear. I’m all for having a nice time to commemorate the building. I don’t want people to think I’m a party pooper here. I’m not. Far from it. But this is now public...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a motion I would like to share with committee. An Act to Amend the Dental Profession Act, I move that clause 2 of Bill 21 be deleted and the following substituted:

2. Section 1 is amended by adding the following definitions in alphabetical order:

“Registrar” means the registrar of the dental profession appointed under Section 82.1; (registraire)

“unrestricted licence or registration” means a licence or registration to practice dentistry that is not suspended, cancelled or revoked or subject to the imposition of any term, condition, restriction or other requirement...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to continue my questions from the infrastructure supp regarding the $100,000 component here under the operations side. If the Minister can give us a breakdown as to what that will entail under that $100,000 expenditure. Thank you.

Finally, and I thank the Minister for his response, did we receive any submission whatsoever from any health care professional or residents of the Northwest Territories that is opposing the amendment we have today?

Thank you, Chair. I am very much familiar that we are talking about capital. I’m talking about the $100,000 to fund a public commemorative event. If I can get a breakdown of what that commemorative event will entail within the $100,000.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If we can maybe get some clarity. We assume that this amendment was reviewed by the dental profession itself of the Northwest Territories. Did the department receive any submissions to speak against this amendment that we have here today from the Dental Association?

I think the interpretation of what would be considered legacy for the building could have various meanings here. I guess my other question is that if there was indeed a surplus that was generated by the Legislative Building Society, why is it that they did not imitate the purchase of or the completion of their intent? Why was a cheque written over to this government now? Why that process? I just don’t quite understand that?

Mr. Chair, I thank the Minister again. I have no further questions.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, I appreciate the Minister’s response there. I guess we all know how government works here when we see a proposal of this nature, large proposals coming really late in the 17th Assembly. Can the Minister give some reassurances here that we are going to have ample time to have all the amendments in place and to have full-blown whistleblower legislation by the end of our sitting in the 17th Assembly?

On the subject of air support services, and obviously, going back to the CL-215 scenarios here, did we have any times whatsoever during the summer where any of the CL-215s were grounded for whatever reason, repairs, inoperable, or maintenance?
