Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the opportunity to speak after the Minister has spoken and my colleagues and before the wrap-up here. Mr. Speaker, our elderly are increasing in numbers throughout the NWT and we will be discussing these sorts of topics more and more. I think important perspectives and debate is being brought forward here by my colleagues and I thank them for that. Many of our cultures are facing challenges in retaining their traditions. The absolute strengths of our cultures reside amongst our elders and it is key to keep our elders in our communities as much as possible...

Thank you, Ms. Magrum. Mr. Krutko.

Contributions, total contributions, $30,000.

Thank you, committee. Page 13-35, Environment and Natural Resources, information item, work performed on behalf of others, continued. Agreed?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Committee, that’s all I have on my list for general comments. Mr. Hawkins.

And that we go on to detail?

Thank you, Mr. Bohnet. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Just a comment there. All this talk of caribou and pristine water has heightened my appetite for supper. So I think what we’ll do is we’ll have Mr. Yakeleya up right after the break, but let’s take a break and have supper.

---SHORT RECESS

Mr. Speaker, the Minister mentions the Climate Change Committee. I think we would agree that, in fact, we have been pushing for the work to be done so that this consultation can be meaningful. That includes listing the tools and determining doing the analysis to determine what those tools can achieve us in terms of greenhouse gas reduction. Consultations are not showing if that work has been done. Can the Minister assure us that work being done will be shortly presented to people for some real consultation to finally begin? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Minister Miltenberger.
