Thanks, Mr. Chair. I just wasn't sure what the GNWT contribution was. Now I understand that. I want to move on. I think this is the part of ITI that deals with socioeconomic agreements. Can I just confirm that with the Minister?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I don't think I'm going to need 10 minutes, but I guess some of it is going to depend on the Minister's answers. On Page 230, the environmental studies research fund, are there actually any oil and gas leases out there that pay levies into this fund anymore? Given the total lack of any activity, are there any levies continuing to come in here? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. If other organizations wanted to obtain this kind of funding -- I'll just give a couple of examples, maybe the Council of Canadians or Ecology North  they could apply to the department and get this type of funding as well? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Is there an evaluation framework that is available? Can that be shared with committee? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Can the Minister share those reports, then, with standing committee? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I would hate to think that we are going to get all the way through that one, too, and find out that royalties for oil and gas are going to be hived off to the next Assembly as well. Let's talk, then, about the royalty regime from mining.

The Minister has said that it is the Indigenous governments, themselves, that have been pushing our government to delay review of the royalty regime for mining.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. That was all SEED money, though; right? Is that what I think I heard the Minister say?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I think I heard the Minister say that he is open, then, to receiving more information about how the destination marketing organization is going to roll out and what additional support our government might provide to help support the burgeoning tourism industry here in Yellowknife? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Could he share that marketing plan, then, with standing committee? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I guess, my last point, I don't really expect a response necessarily from the Minister. I have already said this before. We have raised more revenues now from tobacco taxes than the oil and gas and mining royalties. We get $16 million in tobacco taxes. For mining, oil, and gas royalties, we get $13.4, maybe $13.5. The liquor commission revenues are $24.7 million, about twice what we get from mining, oil, and gas royalties. This, to me, demonstrates the need for us to examine how we collect these revenues and whether they are appropriate or not and whether we are getting a...
