Thanks, Mr. Chair. No further questions on this page.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Again, I appreciate the commitment of the Minister to meet with these interested investors in the court library. Would he be prepared to bring forward a plan to the standing committee on Social Development on how the court library is going to transition into this research centre? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. There were a number of reductions on this page. Just wondering how those were decided upon. These are contributions that are given out to different Aboriginal governments, communities and so on, to, I think, engage in some of our processes. So how were the reductions made? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I still don't quite understand this. So does that mean ITI got to keep the money for those two positions? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks. And just further down on the page there, contract services, there is a pretty big reduction there. Can someone explain that, please? Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I think where we ended off on Friday was I was asking the department some questions about the court library. I understand that the Law Society of the Northwest Territories and the Northwest Territories Law Foundation have made significant contributions towards the operation of the library over a number of years and so it's quite an investment on their part. Would the Minister be prepared to meet with the Law Society and the Law Foundation to talk about the future of the facility? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair. Is a reduction in the travel line below? I think the Minister talked about a reduced fuel expenditure. Is that the explanation for the reduced travel there? I guess what I am asking is, I want to make sure that our staff have the ability to travel to do the work to properly manage and inspect the lands that we have inherited. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks. I don't have any other questions on this one. Thanks.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Just so I understand, when did these reductions take place? Because it's not what I see on page 278 in 2015-16. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. There are a couple of significant changes in the program details there. Corporate information management is up about $600,000 and finance is down about half a million dollars. I was just wondering if someone from the department can explain those changes? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
