Thank you. I’d like to go to 8-7, Education, Culture and Employment, activity summary, education and culture, infrastructure investment summary, infrastructure investments, $2.986 million. Does committee agree? Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Committee agreed?

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. To the motion.

Thank you, Mr. Blake. Minister Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to support the motion brought forward by Ms. Bisaro and would like to thank the seconder for allowing debate here today.

Out of sight or out of mind, that tends to be the issue here with the Giant Mine issues as of late. I think the people of the Northwest Territories are still greatly concerned about the issue, but we only hear it from time to time and it’s paramount that we bring this forward here today.

As we have talked and heard that we are sitting on potentially the largest environmental disaster they say in Canada, I say in the world, and yet the world does...

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. To the motion. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Ms. Allison.

Thank you, Minister Lafferty. With that, committee, I will now rise and report progress.

I welcome that information. I’m sure Members of the committee would recommend that it get that as well.

It is documented in some jurisdictions that net metering credits that customers receive are sometimes in the order of two to three times higher than the standard kilowatt base rate, or we heard today is retail rate. Was this something that was discussed as an opportunity, as an incentive for people to put money into solar power? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. To the motion. Mr. Bromley.
