Thank you, Mr. Roland. Ms. Ballantyne.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just noticed quite a leap of something like 500 or 600 percent on contract services. I am wondering if we can get an explanation of that. Thank you.

I appreciate that information. I guess I’m a little bit astounded, given our lack of success at getting our Aboriginal partners to the table, that this had no place in the Minister’s opening remarks for the department. I haven’t been able to spot any place in the budget where effort is being made to address this situation which I and others predicted. The greater challenges we face as a result of not having these partners at the table. I guess maybe the question is: does that extra effort that’s now required get reflected in the budget at some point and where would that be in this department?

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Committee, we’re on page 2-13, Executive. Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Anything further, Mr. Roland?

Mr. Chairman, I am just wondering; as I noted on the previous page, we have gifted the corporation with $7 million and I don’t see any reflection in GNWT share of the cost of operation of the corporation. I wonder if the Minister could explain that discrepancy. Thank you.
