Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Do you have witnesses you wish to bring into the Chamber?

Thank you, committee. We will return to the department summary on page 13-7. Department summary, Environment and Natural Resources, operations expenditure summary, $65.693 million. Are we agreed?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thanks to the Minister. I hear that the Minister is willing to meet with the seniors. I would hope that he will live up to that commitment. I’d like to, I guess, ask the Minister: Will he take some initiative to contact the NWT Seniors’ Society?

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Minister Beaulieu.

That is again unfortunate news. Not what I wanted to hear. I would urge the department to do some inquiry, particularly within the city of Yellowknife, and determine the number of people who will soon be requiring and needing independent assisted living. It’s an area where the services are generally provided by non-government organizations, but the funding generally comes from GNWT, and I think we’re going to find within the next five years that there’s going to be a huge need for housing these particular individuals and I would ask the Minister if he would commit to look into the situation...

Thank you, Minister. We are on page 5-7, finance, department summary, operations expenditure summary, $142.121 million. We will defer this page until we have done detail. Are we agreed?

Page 5-21, Finance, activity summary, budget, treasury and debt management, operations expenditure summary, $11.567 million.

Page 1-28, activity summary, Legislative Assembly, statutory officers, grants and contributions, contributions, total contributions, $250,000.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Minister Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Moses. Ms. DeLancey.
