Thank you, Minister. Mr. Blake.

I guess we are trying to figure out the math over here and when things get booked as opposed to when things get spent. I just want to reassure the public. I have a question to the Minister on the fact that the Heritage money will flow the first year that we get the first amount of money from resource revenue sharing.

Thank you, Minister, and thank you to your witnesses. Sergeant-at-Arms, please proceed with escorting the witnesses out of the Chamber.

If committee is agreed, we will proceed to Tabled Document 22-17(5), Northwest Territories Main Estimates 2014-2015. General comments. Mr. Menicoche.

Mr. Speaker, are we sure those monies are flowing and if they don’t show up are we committed to the fact that we’re going to have to borrow that money to pay the Aboriginal groups?

To the bill as a whole.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions will be for the Heritage Fund as well. The Minister’s statement indicates the Heritage Fund begins in 2015-16 when the revenue begins to flow into the government. I guess Mr. Bromley’s questioning about when that money will flow... Are we skipping a year of the Heritage Fund? Are we skipping the first year of the Heritage Fund?

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Mr. Minister.

Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Bill 6, An Act to Amend the Medical Care Act; and Tabled Document 22-17(5), Northwest Territories Main Estimates 2014-2015, and would like to report progress and that Bill 6 is ready for third reading. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with. Thank you.
