No further comment, Ms. Bisaro? Committee, we are on page 231, Human Resources, directorate, operations expenditures, $4.504 million.

Page 243, regional operations, operations expenditure summary, $3.397 million.

Thank you, Madam Chair. My next question, I guess, is more specific to that linking in that I would like to see us implementing a mentoring program. I know from my personal experience when I was doing a post-secondary degree I had an opportunity to get on a mentorship program, a training program where in my third year, once I was done my third year I got a position with the GNWT, so in my fourth year, when I was down in Lethbridge, I didn’t even bother looking for a job anywhere else. I knew I was committed to the Northwest Territories, coming back.

Thank you Director Beard. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Minister Beaulieu. Committee, we’re on page 239, management and recruitment services, operations expenditures, $4.393 million.

Obviously, we have the $1.5 million in this year’s budget, so we’re looking to do this. Does the Minister have any plan going forward on when we would actually have a date to break ground on that plant?

Thank you, deputy minister. Noting the clock, I will rise to report progress. Thank you, Minister Beaulieu. Thank you to your witnesses. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses out.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As indicated, we participated in the buy local, buy Great Slave Lake fish. One of the questions while we were there was, are we putting the cart before the horse? How do we promote? We have a new logo and launch, but we actually don’t put that fish in the store.

I would like to ask the Minister of ITI, how are we going to put fish into the stores and prepare that product for the stores? Thank you.
