Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends the Department of Finance provide more detailed resource revenue data on gross amounts received and calculations of amounts retained;

And further, this enhanced reporting should separate annual aggregate values from petroleum, mineral resources, and each other type of resource revenues. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. So there's $39 million here for the flooding, bringing the total appropriation to $117 million, I'm just going to round here. Can I just clarify whether this includes I believe there was a $60 million special warrant. Whether how that fits into this figure. Thank you.

Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends the Department of Health and Social Services disclose its response to the Office of the Auditor General's 20202021 audit observation that many areas of the internal controls need improvement at Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority;

And further, the department should also disclose its action items, progress on those action items, and timelines to improve internal controls. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Okay, and just confirming that this brings our policing services contract with the RCMP up to $55 million? Is it then anticipated for the remainder of this collective agreement that would be the total amount of the contract, or is there some other thing going on where we may be more than $5 million built into next fiscal? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Health and Social Services provide detailed reporting and analysis on each cost driver of the Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority's persistent operating deficit;

And further, the analysis should quantify how each driver contributes to NTHSSA's operating deficit,

And furthermore, the analysis should quantify, break down, and explain for each driver the difference between.

Budgeted expenses, positions, and programs; and

Actual results.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I see $5 million here for the RCMP collective agreement. My understanding is that there's a bit of a dispute about how the collective agreement is going to apply to the back pay or retroactively. Can I just clarify whether this is the total amount we owe for the collective agreement or whether this $5 million is just one this fiscal year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Madam Speaker, I wish to present to the House Bill 61, An Act to Amend the Ombud Act, to be read for the first time.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I see there's $5 million extra here for forest fire suppression. Can I just get confirmation what that brings the total forest fire cost to and whether this is the end of it. I know we were fighting fires very late this year. The sup sometimes takes some time so do we believe this is the end of extra money needed for forest fires this season? Thank you.

Yeah, thank you, Madam Speaker. I'm actually not sure that's legal, and I believe the Department of Lands is working on temporary guidelines when temporary structures can be set up on public land. But they first have to evict 900 people. So I'm not too sure about that. I guess my question is, I assume that we own some wall tents. We own a company that makes them at the very least. I assume we own a few cabins in the territorial government. Is the Minister willing to look through all of our parks and campgrounds and see whether there is some sort of infrastructure that could possibly be rented...

Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Finance take steps to digitize the public accounts and provide a timeline for implementation and anticipated costs;

And further, the digitized presentation of financial results should align with the administrative, economic, functional, and program classifications used in the budget and main estimates documents. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
