My understanding is that our socio-economic agreement stipulates that the pipeline proponents will contribute a spectacular $75,000 a year for the socio-economic office. In fact, I understand that there won’t be an office. Is that still the case?
Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Minister McLeod.
Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Does committee agree we go back to page 11-9?
Thank you, Minister. Next on my list, I have Mr. Jacobson.
Thank you, Ms. Magrum. Mr. Krutko.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to say that I appreciate Minister providing that. It will be great to see it in one package all put together. We did get it in various formats from time to time. I heard the Minister say that we used the $3 million as a commercial power subsidy and although that was contemplated at one time, I don’t believe that was done. I think we simply came up with different rates for commercial power rates and used those $3 million to buy down the rate riders for everybody. I just want to make sure we got accurate information on that. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d also like to welcome Mr. Kirvan and Ms. Shaner.
I’d also like to recognize Karen McMaster, acting executive director of the NWT Wildlife Federation.
Page 11-23, Transportation, information item, highways, active positions. Agreed?
Thank you, Minister. Committee, we’ve agreed to go to general comments, I believe. Agreed?
Mr. Chairman, obviously by keeping it at that, we know we have had that number for some unknown amount of time but probably a considerable number of years. We are still a considerable amount of years away from the project. Are these people being loaned out in the department to other initiatives?
