I see none. Page 5-61, NWT Housing Corporation, information item, lease commitments – infrastructure. Any questions?

Thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate Mr. Hawkins’ for bringing this motion forwards and I know colleagues that have been speaking towards it. This is just the evolutionary progression of what is just good stewardship and management of an industry.

This industry, as we are well aware, is very nomadic when it comes to our national and international filmmakers. This motion does speak very highly to helping our local film producers, as mentioned by Mr. Hawkins. I had the pleasure of having one-on-one dialogues with the national film producers of Arctic Air and Ice Pilots NWT and they clearly said...

Page 5-45, NWT Housing Corporation, information item, corporate summary, operations expenditure summary. Are there any questions? Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you. Moving on to 5-55, NWT Housing… Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. For that we’ll go to Mr. Vician.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. For that we’ll go to Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Committee, we’re on 5-59, NWT Housing Corporation, information item, local housing organizations, operations expenditure summary. Any further questions?

Thank you, Madam Chair. I have just two quick questions on here. Actually, just one. I see the amortization of the capital contributions. This has been an ongoing line entry from 2011 to 2012, now 2013. With the straight line depreciation of capital and with the new debt definitions that we’ve had in the last year, I was surprised to see that debt number is the same number. Things fall off, assets fall off, and those numbers should be changing with every fiscal year. Can the Minister verify if indeed that number is accurate? Thank you.

Madam Chair, I appreciate it. The next question has to deal with the mining and oil and gas, or MOG, which is related on this section. This section deals with negotiating of the approved NWT diamond manufacturers. It deals with rough diamonds. It deals with the certification process. The last official certifications that this government has issued, in my humble opinion, was in 2009-2010, yet, as I think I mentioned in some of my earlier Members’ statements, a bit of a concern that we have retailers’ clubs out there that are still selling or allegedly selling certified NWT diamonds under the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again great news and thanks for sharing that information from the Minister.

We know that it’s pretty hard to argue that a bicycle or a skateboard helmet will not save lives. We know they do. Unfortunately, as I indicated earlier in my statement, we might be a bit premature to bring in the legislation to debate into the House. But in order to assist municipalities prepare for their future agenda on this topic, would the Minister of Transportation provide municipal and territorial data on head and brain injuries due to road sports in the past five years and would he table...
