Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Mr. Guy.

Thank you. 7-18, Public Works and Services, information item, asset management, active positions. Are there any questions?

Being none, 7-33, Public Works and Services, information item, work performed on behalf of others. Any questions?

Mr. Abernethy, would you care to introduce your witnesses to the Chamber?

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Mr. Guy.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Mr. Guy.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The words of the Minister today are encouraging; however, we’ve heard a lot of generalities and I think there are lots of opportunities that we’ve heard today in terms of our training of our road fleet, possibly a review of our protocols with highway accidents when they first become a responder, and probably the needs to improved communication. Again, we’re hearing generalities. I think the Minister should endeavour to address this House and address the people in the Northwest Territories, but more specific. So I challenge the Minister if he’d like to provide that level...

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Members, we are on 8-32, 8-33, Health and Social Services, activity summary, community wellness and social services, grants and contributions, grants, total grants, $443,000, contributions, total contributions, $70.955 million, total grants and contributions, $71.398 million. Does committee agree?

Okay, strike two for the Member. Alright, I’ve got one more bat here and I’m going to put everything into this swing here. The concern I have is we don’t see any positions here, and I know I’m jumping one page and I apologize, because I’m talking about the directorate here, no representation of directorate in the Sahtu. I found that to be quite odd, given the economic activity in the Sahtu area that we would have seen directorate positions. Now, has that been looked at with respect to a reallocation in decentralization of directorate personnel? Why aren’t we seeing the Sahtu mentioned in this...

Okay. Ms. Bisaro, I will allow it, but we’d like to keep on page 8-31 for further questions. Mr. Beaulieu.
