Again, these are challenging issues, but I think we are finding already the world is moving on very quickly. I think this government has also stated fairly plainly that it is going to be progressive on this issue. I don’t think it is actually as big a challenge once we start looking into it. We need some small hydro sources along the Mackenzie Highway that would probably reduce the cost of power as well. If so, once again, will the Minister look into what that is? I would be pleased to offer him my comments on that. Will he have his department and perhaps others look into that possibility...

Moving to page 7, Executive, operations expenditures, Human Resources, not previously authorized, directorate, $526,000. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Kalgutkar. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. We are moving on to Mr. Menicoche. To the motion.

That explains why it’s in that column. I appreciate that. My other question is what is going on with these dollars. Do we have some sort of agreement where the Deh Cho Corporation will provide us the resources so that we can critique their engineering work? Is that essentially what is happening here?

Page 9, Public Works and Services, operations expenditures, asset management, not previously authorized, $640,000.

Does the committee agree that consideration of Tabled Document 17-16(3) is concluded? Thank you, committee, for keeping us on our toes. We’ll go to page 15. Transportation, capital investment expenditures, highways, not previously authorized, $3 million.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Recognizing that fuel emissions are a primary source of greenhouse gases and climate change is a problem for us, and recognizing that there is little significant effort right now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, will the Minister of Transportation commit to adopting California fuel emission standards for the Northwest Territories? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Minister McLeod.
