Thanks, Mr. Chair. That is helpful in explaining why there is this large amount in 2014-15. Then for 2015-16, 2016-17, Finance is contributing $2 million towards this Environmental Liability Fund. Is that what is happening, Mr. Chair? Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. There’s also a decrease, a substantive one, here, $5 million in property taxes and school levies that’s projected. Can the department explain that decrease in revenues? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I was a bit worried about that. I will just consider what I am going to do about that. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Just so I understand, is that going to happen in 2016-17, this year, or can the Minister give us a date when we might get that paper? Thanks.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I think we should be increasing our revenues, period. But I’m trying to understand why in the personal income tax there’s a projection for an increase, but at payroll tax we’re actually projecting a decrease. I’m just trying to understand why there’s those two different trends happening in the projections? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Those questions, they bring up a question for me. Are we taking money then away from Land Use Planning and putting it into Land Use Sustainability? As I understand it, one of the parts of our mandate was to ensure that we have completed a land use plans maybe even at the end of our four-year term. I am just trying to figure out how reallocating money away from land use planning into land use sustainability is going to help us accomplish that. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

No. Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the commitments made by the Minister, but I do need to go on record as opposing this cut to an important public service. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Will this have any impact on -- or how will that improve access to justice? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. In the Minister's opening remarks she talks about $3.5 million contribution Arctic Energy Alliance. I think I know where to look for that on this page. There's also a $760,000 one-time enhancement. Is that located on this page or where would we find that? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Just so I understand it, you have 2015-2016 Main Estimates here. Then there are the revised estimates, looks like there are no changes made. Do we know how fully subscribed those programs were in 2015-16? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
