Thank you, Mr. Chair. Underneath the resource management unit there, on page 305, and then looking at the language on 304, is there funding within that annual budget there to have an annual review of land tenures, land administration, on an annual basis? Take the Sahtu, for example, would the Sahtu Land Claim Department and other municipalities that have an annual lands administration workshop, if you want to call it that, is there funding within this budget for those types of management systems?

Yes, Mr. Chair, just going on page 301 on informatics. Could the Minister explain the whole initiative on that particular page there, 301? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, and thanks, Mr. Chair. I think there was something -- I've got the wife's glasses on or something here, but anyways that's the excuse I come up with. On the opening comments there, I notice that the Minister had mentioned that there's going to be some initiatives towards restructuring and initiatives taking towards that and the short-term, long-term is as well towards the Commissioner's Land Act and the Northwest Territories Land Act. Is there monies budgeted for that allowance to restructure our land admin?

I'll leave that question to the other side to decide which one I'm going to get a response from.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So the guidelines for the delivery of this line item would remain the same, Mr. Chair?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today my question is addressed to the Minister responsible for OROGO on the activities to date in that area with regard to the expiration licence acquired by the Sahtu Explorer's Group here several years ago, particularly in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. I ask the Minister to date what is the status of the significant discovery licenses that have recently been issued if any? If I could get an update on that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So we may expect some funding for next marine season? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Speaker, today I'd like to use this time here to share a couple announcements here. One is to Ms. Vivian Pellissey there who the Minister earlier mentioned on receiving the Education Hall of Fame. Congratulations Ms. Pellissey on your over 30 years of dedication to strengthening the educational foundation of the Community of Tulita, truly a large and most recognized reward and I extend my support to you.

The second one is to recognize this day here, 23 years ago we seen the conclusion of the Sahtu Dene and Metis Comprehensive Land Claim, which was signed on this day and received a royal...

Yes, on the same page, 414, here on the same program, community access roads. Earlier the Minister mentioned this is a community-based application program is there reserved amounts per region? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Further down the page there on 406, total permits, looking at the three sets of numbers across the board here, 3.9, 3.9, 3.9 again, and back in 2014-15, 4.4. Are those numbers related to the total revenues going across the Deh Cho Bridge? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
