Thank you, Mr. Chair. I recognize that the legislation hasn't been passed yet. Does the Minister have an estimate of how much money is required to start up cannabis sales? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to Mr. Stewart for that response. What I hear is that he has a lot of confidence that all of the tax owing is in fact tax paid in these two taxes. Can he please confirm that? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I see that the Mackenzie Valley Fibre Link is listed separately underneath, so what the Minister is saying is that these corporate and administration costs relate directly to that fibre line and not to anything else; is that correct? Thank you.

Thank you to the Minister for that response. When did the GNWT last audit each of these taxes? Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you for that response. It is true that it is more widely available, but the point I am making is that this family of four, which this living wage calculation was based on, had an income of $92,000 so they did not qualify for the NWT Child Benefit, and I am sure any of us sitting here can appreciate that $92,000 annual income for a family of four is not a fortune. What I am asking is whether the Department of Finance can provide an estimate of the cost of raising the threshold to $100,000 so that we can consider what that will cost? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I am looking at page 117, and I am looking at the line Arctic Inspiration Prize. Elsewhere in the business plan, the Arctic Inspiration Prize is listed in Lands and it is also listed in ECE. Can the Minister please advise us why it appears in all of those different places and where in fact the decision making is made on the contribution to the Arctic Inspiration Prize? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, my question is about page 313. The chargeback number has gone up by about $150,000 a year, and I'm wondering what change occurred to account for this change in chargebacks? Thank you.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the achievements of my constituent, Nicole Latour, with the Province of Nova Scotia Chief Electoral Officer's Quality, Value and Service Award, recognizing outstanding achievements by elections officers. As Canada's only First Nations Chief Electoral Officer, Ms. Latour advised the Nova Scotia Chief Electoral Officer on a strategy to increase Indigenous Peoples' participation in provincial elections. Her advice produced good results, and she has been honoured with this award. Please join me in offering congratulations to Ms. Latour...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Okay, so I feel like I am putting the pieces together now. So one of the key pieces will be the development and implementation or the remainder of the development and implementation of the Arctic Policy Framework; is that correct? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that clarification. So is the priority task, then, of this office to pursue the themes that the Minister developed in his red alert statement of last November? Thank you.
