Thank you, Minister Lafferty. Does committee agree that we allow Mr. Lafferty to bring in his witnesses?

Okay, that concludes our detail. Can we go back to page 4-2 to do the summary page? Municipal and Community Affairs, department summary, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $28.002. Agreed? Mr. Bromley.

I’d like to call Committee of the Whole back to order. Prior to the break we agreed we’d continue with Tabled Document 66-16(5), NWT Capital Estimates 2011-2012, with the Department of MACA. So we’ll move to the Department of MACA to page 4-2. We are going to defer the first page, 4-2, and we’re going to move straight into detail. Is committee agreed, 4-4?

Does committee agree that we have concluded MACA?

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. That’s similar to a question that was asked earlier today. Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. Is committee agreed?

Thank you, Minister McLeod. We’re on page 4-4, activity summary, regional operations, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $28.002 million.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Minister McLeod.

I’m happy the Minister is going to be looking into that. I would say what his advisors are telling him may not exactly be working, because we have experienced a $16.5 million drop in business travel. So once again, I think there’s an advantage to provide small incentives, small financial incentives. We could also go with a base payment with maybe another small fund or amount based on the number it brings, because the more people you bring, the more money you can get. Will the Minister explore the possibility of actually creating an incentive based on the number of people that people can bring...

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Just a reminder to Members that we’re talking about capital here today. Mr. Krutko.
