Thank you, Mr. Neudorf. Committee, we seem to be still on page 6 here. Any further questions? Sorry; I have Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you. We will continue on page 9-10, information item, active position summary. Questions?

Page 9-33, information item, services to public, active positions. Questions?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I stated my perspectives on fighting down the high cost of living through poverty reduction and reduced energy costs. This government owns the public utility providing the bulk of electrical energy to NWT customers. Through the decades, government has jiggled and tweaked, studied and reviewed, and we are not one centimetre closer to meeting our energy needs.

What are our energy needs? The cheapest possible power at the lowest environmental cost with the greatest local business and employment benefits. I can hear the reaction now: that’s easy for me...

Ms. Bisaro.

Go ahead, Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you very much, Mr. Menicoche. Next on my list is Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you. Committee, we’re on page 9-17, activity summary, law enforcement, operations expenditures summary, $33.586 million.

Thank you, Minister. If I could ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort the witnesses in, if committee agrees.
