Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that. I know I am the only thing standing between us and dinner. Happy to get that in writing from the Minister. I did have one other question though if I could. Going back to the Minister's opening remarks, he talks about, in his opening remarks, the amalgamation of the liabilities of the financial assurances division and the project assessment branch -- and that is, I think, the section of Lands we are talking about here -- and how there can be some policies and procedures developed, particularly around the area of securities. I keep asking about this stuff...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I'm just not quite still sure how the department is going to monitor this, but I don't think this is the place to follow it up. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Can the department explain how this one-time enhancement came about? 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. 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.

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. I appreciate the commitment of the Minister to appear before Standing Committee with this plan. Would that plan also include what is going to happen to the books and the resources that are actually in the court library? The reason why I mention this is that it's my understanding that there are some volumes and some information, some documents, books in there that are the only known copy on this planet, and they are of a great historical value for people that would want to do research on the history of the Northwest Territories, our legislation and so on. And I know that our...

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.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I'm just not sure about the presentation here. That might be something I'd have to take up in our review of the Main Estimates when we do this offline somewhere else, but I'm just not sure that this is -- I'm not sure it contains the information about the full staffing of OROGO in 2015-16. So I don't know how else to pursue it. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
