Thank you, Mr. Chair. The deal that we signed yesterday with Minister Sohi, that's where a lot of these funds are going to come from. Now that we've signed our bilateral as of yesterday, the projects that move forward in the next fiscal year, we will be coming back for except for those ones. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have talked about this in the House a number of times. I believe that the procurement policies that we have in place and along with our trade agreements, along with the BIP Incentive Policy Program, that our procurement policies and principles that we have followed in the Government of the Northwest Territories are here to benefit the residents of the Northwest Territories. We will continue to use them in that manner moving forward.

I have said a number of times in this House that I'm not willing to have a look at a review of doing anything on this policy at this time...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Most of those reductions are due to sunsets. If the Member wants, I can read them back to him. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Out of that 1,724, there is $252,000 included in there for environmental monitoring for the next two years. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We believe it was between $50,000 to $100,000. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The $2.894 million is the capital money that we want to use to do the projects that I just mentioned to the previous Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Department of Infrastructure prepared a 10-point action plan to address the recommendations made by the Auditor General's report and has made the commitment to having that action plan operational by May 31st of 2018. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, this is the section that has the money allocated for that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 246, that is where we record the grants to the community, and the number of 1,480 is what we give the community, but there are also incremental costs there for travel and some other offset costs that raise it to $1.5 million. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, we are not planning on going over the accumulated surplus. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
