Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Tabled Document 133-16(5), Northwest Territories Main Estimates, 2011-2012, and would like to report progress. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

Mr. Chairman, again, 4-15, contracting services, $125,000. Can I get a breakdown of that?

Ms. Melhorn.

Agreed. We’re on page 5-32, information item, Mr. Bromley.

Again, you’re saying you’re coming forward with a supp. Right now there are only two parties who have signed on with the government, which is the Metis and Inuvialuit. So is the supp only going to pertain to funding that’s going to be required by those two organizations to participate going forward, or will there be dollars available for those other regional leaders that you mentioned that are out there who are members of the Northern Leaders’ Forum?

Mr. Roland.

We are moving on to page 5-15, information item, deputy minister’s office, active positions.

Agreed. Does committee agree that we’ve concluded the Department of Finance?

Last question and I can include both items. Is there an inflation factor built into the funding? It seems like it’s a level number. Is there any way, based on inflation, that you increase it over a period of time or is it just a flat line?

Ms. Melhorn.
