So on 296, I mean, three lines and we're spending $50 million there, and we have the added costs of $3.5 million for policing for the extra whatever, and then you have the $8 million. It's just well over $60 million. What does biology case work cover for $183,000?

Mr. Speaker, in my Member's statement, I talked about the government of the Yukon conducting a review of the Yukon police force. That review produced a final report, along with several recommendations for improving oversight to the RCMP and building trust with the public. The NWT could learn a thing or two from that work.

Has the Minister or the Justice department ever looked at the Yukon's police force review, and if so, have any of these recommendations been considered for the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So the community justice committees and projects, could you give us the allocation by community, please. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my statement last November about the Territorial Police Service Agreement, I talked about an aspect of that agreement called the contract management committee. The Minister of Justice explained that the contract management committee is a nationallevel group that supports information sharing and collaboration among provinces and territories, the public safety, Canada, and the RCMP.

The NWT is represented on that committee by the assistant deputy minister solicitor general branch of the NWT. While that may sound good on paper, this is not what I was hoping...

Thank you, Madam Chair. The community justice committees and projects, when you look at the active positions, it says two in headquarters and 12 in North Slave and yet it's covering I'm sure this is also covering South Slave. Very confusing the way it's brought forward here.

I think there is a community justice committee in Fort Smith, and I want to say that the people that run the community justice committee in Fort Smith is very productive, and I think that the way things are put forward by Justice is not very clear. Clarity must be very it must be when we're going to vote on this budget...

Thank you, Madam Chair. So it's based on a formula. So the formula is based on programs, or is it based on per capita?

I just have a couple of short questions, Madam Chair. On page 58, what is the northern bonus? I'd like the Minister to answer that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, could this also be crossreferenced with the teacher education program? Because it would be nice that the teachers that would graduate from the teacher education program also have access to some of the courses that would be offered in the language translator course. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Further to that answer, I still feel that, you know, we pay a lot of money to locums that are not they're not guaranteed residents of the Northwest Territories. Every community does. And when we have someone who is of Indigenous descent and who is a Metis person and going in to be a I don't know if she she is going to graduate, with honors from the University of Saskatchewan, and is going to be a surgeon, and who's willing to come here, you're telling me that she has to go get lines of credits that are payable back and yet we're putting all these other students...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I wish to table Sharing Common Ground Review of Yukon's Police Force Final Report on Implementation, May 2014. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
