Thank you. That brings us to page 148, fiscal policy, operations expenditure summary, activity total $42,278,000. We’ll defer this page and go on to page 149, grants, contributions and transfers. Any questions? Are we agreed? Oh, Mr. O’Reilly.

Thank you, Mr. Kalgutkar. Any further questions? Mr. O’Reilly.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That was my number one concern right from the start, once we started this fund here, because I’ve seen it, you know, growing up in Tsiigehtchic where we have no nurse and our people are the first responders, and we’re putting them at risk for these liabilities here. Like I said, we need a lot more training and I look forward to that in the future. Thank you.

Agreed. Brings us then to page 144. Deputy minister’s office, operations expenditure summary, activity total $92,440,000. We will defer this and move on to page 145. Deputy minister’s office, grants, contributions, and transfers. Any questions? Mr. O’Reilly.

Agreed. That brings us back to 154, management board secretariat, operations expenditure summary, activity total, $9,726,000. Agreed?

Thank you, Mr. McNeely. Mr. Kalgutkar.

Thank you, committee. Does the committee agree that you have completed your consideration of the Department of Finance including the proposed borrowing plan of the Government of the Northwest Territories?

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Mr. Simpson.

Thank you, Mr. O’Reilly. Mr. Kalgutkar.

That brings us to page 146. Deputy minister’s office, active positions, information item. Any questions? Agreed?
