Thank you, Minister. I’d ask the Sergeant-at-Arms, if committee agrees...

Mr. Chairman, did we comment to try and get clarification that we are not a provincial government? We are a consensus government, a territorial government, and all MLAs need to be able to contribute to decisions made on these projects. Was that clarified to Mr. Pollard? My understanding is that this was probably a one-off sort of process this time hopefully and that other projects will not necessarily follow the review panel process. We need to be clear. I am wondering if the Minister managed to get that input to Mr. Pollard.

Does committee agree that we go to detail?

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. We’re on page 11-29, Transportation, activity summary, community access program, operations expenditure summary, $1.008 million. Agreed?

Page 12-13, Industry, Tourism and Investment, activity summary, corporate management, operations expenditure summary, $7.735 million. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do appreciate the department working in this area. This is front-line work and we’re bound to have some kerfuffles along the way like big sunken trees running into our equipment. I appreciate the persistence to work with this new technology. I wanted to follow up in that respect just with the Bear River in-stream hydro. As the Minister mentioned, I was privileged to join him on a trip briefly with a bunch of people from Deline to look at a piece of technology that looks very positive. I just want to confirm that the Minister’s assessment is that does look fairly...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate those remarks. So does this mean that these groups of entrepreneurs or whatever will have more say on how these dollars are spent than in the past? Would that be fair to say or is that not necessarily true? Thank you.

Thank you. Page 11-21, Transportation. Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, committee. I would like to ask the Minister if he would like to give opening remarks. Minister Bob McLeod.
