Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, there is no change to this fund. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The answer is no, it wasn’t fully subscribed to. Thank you.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, with the funding we provide to the band governments, we have requirements, as Ms. Young said, for reporting. I’m not sure if the Member wants us to include the regional government into that equation because we deal strictly remotely with the community governments to address some of the challenges they might face. I’m not sure if the Member is wanting us to include the regional governments into that, as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I would, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I am not sure as to the status of the positions at the moment, whether they are out for competition or not. I will gather that information, and I will share it with the Member personally. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, Tsiigehtchic was actually one of the communities where we did provide some first responder training. The thing with people in the Northwest Territories is somebody is going to respond all the time and they’re not going to worry about where the money is coming from, they will just respond. Our challenge is to ensure that our communities are adequately trained and have the proper equipment to respond. The biggest challenge is dollars. As we continue to go through this process then we can identify some of our bigger challenges and then as the financial...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, this is just a reduction to the youth contribution, but if you look at the other youth contributions throughout the last few pages that we have gone through, there is still a very significant amount that was dedicated to the youth through the different programs. As far as this particular line item, I am not sure exactly what this entailed or who could access it. I will look for that information and I will share it with the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We will have a review of our legislative agenda for the next year and see where we can fit this into that if we have other pieces of legislation that we are working on now. Then if it is a quick fix, it is a matter of an amendment, then we will look at that too. I can’t give a definite timeline. I would be just trying to buy more time if I tried to give you a definite timeline. We will have a look and see what is required and how long it would take. We will share that with the Members. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It was $280,000, but it is now $270,000. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, of the $38 million that was identified as a shortfall, $23 million of that was actually capital and $15 million was O and M. With the money we’ve put in, the O and M has actually come down to about $13.9 million. The money we received from the federal government certainly helps us address some of the capital issues, and then our CPI funding that we provide to the communities has been at $28,002,000 for a long time. I can’t remember how long it’s been. Since 2007. We’ve been fortunate that we’ve been able to access a lot of federal money. Then with the new...
