Thanks, Mr. Chair. It has declined precipitously, from over $20 million in 2016-2017 to $2.3 million. Does this just reflect a lot less activity that is going on? Are these reduced fees or something here? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Well, that's an honest answer. What is happening with the property? Are we actually trying to market this property yet, or what has happened? We have had it now for probably, what, two years, so what is happening? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I can vouch for some of those parks on the other side of the lake because I've stayed in all of them, but there are some great parks on this side of the lake, as well: Fred Henne, Prelude, Reid Lake, all of which our family has used. Where is the department looking at in terms of keeping some of those open longer into the fall? Part of the reason I raise this is they already do it in the Yukon. They have tremendous road traffic through there. I use their parks past the usual closing date, and, from what I've seen and understand, they get great usage of those parks even into...

Well, I gave the Minister an opportunity to provide some specifics on policy, legislative, and structural changes, and he didn't take me up on the offer. When the Auditor General conducted the climate change audit, ENR was down to two staff on this file. How could we allow that to happen?

Can the Minister explain what he's doing to convince his colleague, the Minister of Finance, to secure the resources necessary to properly implement the actions to allow us to meet our international and national obligations with regard to climate change?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. My questions are on 208, the revenues. Minerals, oil and gas royalties, are there any oil and gas royalties predicted for 2018-2019? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

That's all I've got for now. I'm just a bit surprised at the last one, but I'm sure I'll have a chance to chat with the Minister more about it. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Maybe just one last question: the oil and gas strategy, when is that going to be made available to standing committee? It's been a long time since we commented on some earlier versions, so when is the next version going to appear? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. The Auditor General found that ENR failed to lead GNWT efforts on climate change. The recent Climate Change Strategic Framework and the action plan in response to that continue in that tradition by not proposing any policy, legislative, or structural changes. Can the Minister explain to this House why his department continues to fail in its leadership role on climate change? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the commitment of the Minister on that one, and I think that is all I have for this portion of the budget. Sorry, one other, on 227, is BDIC. The accumulated surplus is shown on the bottom of the page there. Is this the amount that the Minister is talking about changing or allowing the corporation to use as part of its program dollars that they are not authorized to do right now? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. So is this a new fish plant for Yellowknife? What does the physical infrastructure actually look like? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
