Yes, the Member likes to throw language like that in there. He knows that this government does not pass the buck, and if there is an opportunity to take a lead on this we will do that because this would more than likely probably be the landing place for it, and I think we have already been doing some preliminary work towards this with the anticipation that this was coming down. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I’m not sure where the $13 million was. I was looking for it on the revenue page. I can say that the personal income tax of $113,276,000, I mean, you can attribute a lot of that to the folks who are working at the mines and then the corporate income tax; same thing. A lot of that is from the mine. The fuel tax; I mean, they would pay a lot of fuel tax. Payroll tax, $42 million. I’d like to know how much of that is from the mines. They do property tax as well. They pay property taxes.

If we were to do the work and add all these numbers up and see what indirectly...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Once we are through the budgeting process and we pass the budget, then I can commit to the Member that we will have a briefing to committee before June.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we don't have that detail of information handy. I will commit to the Member that we can put something in writing and provide it to all Members. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes; it would be in the Management Board Secretariat as we go further in the document. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the quick answer is yes, and I've made the commitment before that I'm going to work with the department, because the word "other" does open it up for questions and we'll take steps to rectify that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, earlier indications are that the water levels should be fine this year, and hopefully that holds true; then we won’t have to provide more money for low water levels.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, as I think the Members have read in the paper or in the news, the line is being lit up all the way up to Fort Good Hope. One of the comments I remember is they don't have to wait for Netflix now. It is just "boom," they got it automatically. The last update we had was the crossings. I think they were doing okay with the crossings. They just have one more that they had to do. Then they should be connected all the way up to Inuvik. On the revenue side, my understanding is we have started seeing some revenue already. We will confirm that if the Member is...

I do, Mr. Chair.

$10.6 million as of December 1st.
