Thank you, Madam Chair. What does the Minister mean by doubtful accounts for property and fuel tax revenues? What are the doubtful accounts?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister provide to the House here in terms of a strategy and a date when this agreement of seeing actual movements of these mounds of contaminated sites along the Mackenzie Valley will be moved out to some location outside of the Northwest Territories? Thank you.

I understand there is some extra funding going to the Centre for Northern Families and also the Salvation Army for short-term needs for homeless individuals in the communities. Is that something that we are expecting every year? We certainly need that type of money in our communities. Is this the type of funding that is going to come up every year in the supps? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you, colleagues. Mr. Speaker, for $41 million we can surely build a decent outhouse for Colville Lake. At least they can enjoy one function in comfort and know that in this government we care. Mahsi.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. I appreciate the Minister’s answers. Does this open us up to any other types of workers in the Northwest Territories, in terms of this type of work that you are doing with the nurses in terms of compensation or re-evaluation? Are we open up to any other professional jobs, such as teachers or social workers that could also possibly look at a grievance process also? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Can the Minister tell me if this situation, this case is closed once and for all or are there other cases that haven’t come forward for next year in terms of further increases to compensation regarding evaluation? Is that something we may expect? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Looking through the supplementary there are a lot of numbers there for fuel increase in all the departments. I want to ask the Minister, are we to expect this next year? It seems like with these numbers, someone wasn’t paying attention to the pricing of fuel in the Territories and it seems like we got caught off guard. Is this going to be the same situation for next year? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The marshalling area, could you explain that to me because I understand that…Is this some kind of land development or land for Enterprise? Are they seeking land for some development? Thank you.

My question is for the Minister of Justice.

Could the Minister advise me what, if any, options his department has looked at that might help keep apartment rental costs affordable for our residents during this resource development boom time?

Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I didn’t think I was asking questions on the sewer lagoon. That’s good to know about this. The other one is about Wrigley in terms of $165,000 going into that community. Is there something that we also didn’t anticipate in terms of these types of dollars for the community of Wrigley? Could I ask the Minister for some clarification on the $165,000, Madam Chair?
