David Krutko

Minister of Finance.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Following up on the questions about the outfitters, I think one of the integrated regulatory boards that we seemed to have missed here or, basically, I just noted, is the green resource boards in the Gwich’in Settlement Area and the Sahtu. We have a regulatory system that’s changed the management of wildlife and the regulatory boards that we established under the land claim agreements. I’d just like to ask the Minister exactly what is the role of the boards when it comes to outfitter licence? Because under the land claim agreements it specifically states that they would...

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Minister, do you want to respond to his comments?

Total department, not previously authorized, $991,000.

Road licensing and safety, not previously authorized, $104,000.

Okay. Office of the Clerk, not previously authorized, $480,000.

Total department, not previously authorized, $505,000.

Community health programs, not previously authorized, $1.4 million.

Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to ask the Minister, in light of his directing to change the Wildlife Act, can some of these changes be done to date in regard to changing the regulations that a lot of these obligations fall under? They don’t follow under the Wildlife Act, they follow in regard to the obligations under the outfitter licensing act. So I’d like to ask the Minister, can he consider looking at the obligations under the existing legislation and change those without having to have a thorough change of the Wildlife Act or do a combination of both? Thank you.
