Thank you, committee. Page 8-34, information item, lease commitments - infrastructure.

Again, this is by way of making sure that we’re all clear on why we are dealing with this issue today. I would for the record like to ask the Minister why he did then go ahead with the ban.

We’re on page 8-30, activity summary, community health programs, grants and contributions, contributions.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Tabled Document 62-16(4), NWT Main Estimates, 2010-2011, and would like to report progress. I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Minister Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Minister Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to continue asking questions of the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources on caribou. I’d like to start with, well, temporarily setting aside the whole aboriginal rights issue, the urgency of the caribou. Does the Minister fully appreciate what the caribou mean to the Yellowknives Dene and all aboriginal people? Could he describe his understanding of what they mean?

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Minister Lee.

Information item, infrastructure investment summary, page 8-8. We’ve done that already. Thank you, committee. So we’ve agreed on page 8-7, the operations expenditure summary. Does committee agree that this concludes the Department of Health and Social Services?

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Elkin.
