Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, on page 70 I'd like to just ask the Minister about the area of contaminated sites and remediation. On the contaminated sites and remediation there's $319,000 in there. I see that this is for developing programs and policies to manage and remediate contaminated sites. So I guess my question is: is there a budget and how does the whole budgeting work between when you actually are remediating the site, when you hire a contractor to go in there and do remediation, where does that money come from? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I move that committee defer further consideration of the estimates for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources at this time. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, committee wishes to consider Tabled Document 26118(2), Northwest Territories Main Estimates 20172018 with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My question was: Is the intermittent water quality information sufficient to determine whether or not there needs to be any mitigations, and I am talking about mitigations as any development that is on the Talston River, mainly the dam in the spillway, so that's what I'm referring to. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

In my Member's statement I spoke about the federal government putting $50 million aside for remote Indigenous communities to transition off diesel fuel. Has this government had any discussions with the federal government as to that $50 million fund?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I move that the Chair rise and report progress.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like the Minister just to update us on the whole ground ambulance highway rescue activity. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, that's all I have. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is all I have, thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, staying with Building Canada Plan's Small Community Fund, is there a population criteria for that particular fund? Thank you.
