Those numbers are coming from recent construction in the downtown sector from reputable companies for that $450.

I guess the next question I have has to do with remediation or site preparation for that building. There was a demolition. There was a take-down and site preparation. Does this amount of money for that remediation, was that added into the costs of this project or was this separated out as an operational cost? Thank you, Madam Chair.

I will now rise and report progress. I’d like to thank our witnesses today, if I can get the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witnesses out of the Chamber. Thank you.

I didn’t hear what amount is being spent in it, but maybe I can get that amount as well as what we have spent to date on this EMR project. If I can get that question answered.

Yes. Okay. Thank you, Madam Chair. Part of the project listing there includes the 6,000 square metre general purpose office building that’s being constructed in Yellowknife. We know that work is underway and I believe that this project is being spread out over a number of capital budgets over the next number of years. Could we maybe get an update as to what the total cost is projected upon completion? I’m talking a full, whole asset of this project when this project will come to full completion date. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. DeLancey. Mr. Bromley.

It sounds like we have what I call pull technology, where people have to come to the government to pull that information or extract that information as to what is available from the evergreening process. Would the government consider a department in creating a push technology which they allow everyone to see what is available that has been retrofitted, a website design or something where people can dial in, these NGOs can dial in and say, you know what, I will take those four computers, and would the government then assist in getting those at a reasonable cost to an NGO, schools or whatever...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Of course, we are talking today about issues in the Yellowknife DMV office and there could be potential issues throughout the territory.

Would the Minister come forward to the House and maybe provide a comprehensive review of our services in comparison to what you would expect across Canada? Would the Minister provide that for Regular Members as an overall review?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Beaulieu.

Again, I heard the word “auction off,” but I’m thinking on a bigger picture that we have a number of NGOs out there that obviously are in need of equipment, they’re on very limited budgets for the most part and what is deemed near the end of our lifecycle for a government may be very appropriate for a lot of our NGOs throughout the Northwest Territories.

I believe a lot of these NGOs are not even aware that they could have some of these assets available to them. Does the Minister or department do any type of outreach programs informing NGOs throughout the Northwest Territories, especially our...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thanks to the Minister for replying. It sounds like there are some measures that are going to be coming forward to decrease these wait times in Yellowknife.

How are these measures going to be monitored so that we know, as Members, that constituents’ needs are being addressed here for Yellowknife?
