There are reports that are done annually. If the Member wants to know where one report is or if he’s looking for a various report from any one of the socio-economic agreements we have with the existing diamond mines, I’d be happy to help him find that.

Madam Chair, of that amount of $19.3 million, approximately $11.6 million will be covered off from devolution funding. Thank you.

Thank you. Again, I just wanted to get back to the number of just over $1 million, $1.074 million. I think it was late in the life of the 16th Assembly that CHAP funding was actually doubled. So there was twice as much money put into this area late in the life of the 16th Assembly. But if there are additional pressures and costs continue to go up, this is something, as we move forward, we could certainly revisit. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We continue to work with communities on providing a service to the communities. There was the Aboriginal Constable Program. We didn’t get enough applicants. The program was supposed to run at Depot in Regina in 2013. There weren’t enough applicants. That program has been reworked. There is an intake that’s supposed to happen early, I believe, in 2015. We are hoping to have a couple of applicants from the Northwest Territories enter that program.

We have to also look at opportunities with each community. We try to make a policing model for each community in the Northwest...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I will make the commitment. We need to get in front of committee to have a discussion about next steps, where we’re going and what is going on, and I look forward to the discussion, ensuring much more information in the days ahead with committee members on the regulation of oil and gas in the Northwest Territories post-devolution. Thank you.

I do, Mr. Chairman, thank you.

The program review was for programs and services delivered by BDIC. That also gets to efficiency and effectiveness of those programs. That certainly would draw us into having some question about, I know the Member calls it duplication, and if we could look into a different way of doing things, those things are going to be taken into consideration. We’re not making decisions overnight. This is going to be something that we put a lot of thought and effort into. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I’ve been the Minister of Justice for four months. That’s something that goes before my starting in this position as Minister of Justice. That’s something that I certainly can find out for the Member and I will get that information to her.

Yes, Madam Chair, absolutely. I made that commitment earlier to Member Bromley and that is something that we certainly look forward to, getting in a room with committee and Regular Members and addressing every one of the concerns that they have as we move forward. Thank you.

The agricultural dollars that we do have, again, flow into the regions, and our goal is to work with local producers at the regional level. I know the Member has had a great deal of success in the Sahtu, especially in Norman Wells with the potatoes and chickens, and I understand there’s a small-scale chicken operation in Deline and that’s pretty exciting as well. Thank you.
