Yes.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 67)

I hope he doesn't pass away for a long, long time. I like the guy. I appreciate his tenacity when it comes to working for the people. Hopefully, we can get it done sooner than later. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 67)

Thank you. I thank the Member for his passion, and I appreciate the good words he says about ENR. When we talked about this and we looked at our budget and we looked at what our legislation is going to be and our requirements, we feel presently that we can do the work with the different divisions within the department. We are able to achieve that. If we need to, I will not hesitate to come back and ask for more money if we require it, but right now, we feel comfortable that we are able to achieve it in a timely manner within our existing budgets presently. Thank you, Madam Chair.

For that detail, to the deputy minister. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 67)

For that detail, I'll turn to the deputy minister. Thank you.

For that detail, I'll turn to the deputy minister. Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 67)

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 67)

Thank you. My understanding is: we are lapsing it this year, and then we are able to pick up the money next fiscal year to do the job that we were going to do this year. Because of COVID, we aren't able to. We do have the money. I wouldn't say we are transferring; we are lapsing it this year and getting the money next fiscal year to do the survey. For any additional detail, I will ask the deputy minister to talk about the finances to it.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 67)

I'll start, and then I'll turn to the deputy minister. These here are projects that, as it says, we are performing on behalf of others. These are things that we work with the federal government or the organization on to get done. To advance it would be a bit of a challenge right now because of our commitments, but I think I got that look, so I'm going to turn to the deputy minister who can clarify that part. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. For corporate costs, you see a reduction of $21,000. Basically, it's amortization adjustment. Then on the directorate, we see a decrease again as amortization, and then, the field support unit, yet again, amortization adjustment. On financial and capital planning, we see it decreased due to a transfer to the FMD South Slave to support historical spending. Number eight is, again, a decrease of $217,000 due to $172,000 of community hunter and assistance program, one-time supplemental; $150,000 sustainable livelihood program, one time supplementary; $110,000 sustainable livelihood...
