I believe we did respond on the 11th of February. There was a regulatory need for that. I assume there are other regulatory dates that are scheduled and that we would have to respond by. Perhaps there isn’t, but I would appreciate a commitment again from the Premier that he will find that out and let the House know. Obviously that’s not confidential.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko, Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Neudorf. Mr. Menicoche.

Just perhaps one question, and I appreciate the Minister’s comments there. My constituents have raised interest in a biking and walking trail along the Ingraham Trail. We’ve been talking about that for a couple of years and I’m wondering where we’re at with that, if the department has that process laid out where we can go forward with that. Thank you.

Just in follow-up to that, is there a planned expenditure with ITI next year, then? When does ITI start spending some money on, I presume it would be ITI working with the private enterprise and so on getting the uptake? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to ask the Premier whether or not we are planning a response to the Joint Review Panel recommendations as the Government of the Northwest Territories and when is the next time we will be submitting any response to the JRP report to any regulatory body?

Committee agrees. Page 12-14, information time, Industry, Tourism and Investment, corporate management, active positions.

One of the aspects of this, of course, is it’s an opportunity that appears where there are fires. So there can be different communities involved from time to time and my understanding is that the harvest opportunities is really commercial only the first year after a fire. So I’m wondering what the department is doing to grapple with that. There are some residents who are experts in this area. I wonder if they’ve been approached or are planning to be approached for assisting in planning on how to manage this opportunity/ Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Minister McLeod.
