Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to take a moment to recognize the students from Range Lake. It's always an honour when we have youth attending the Legislative Assembly. They will be our future leaders and it's really great to see them taking part in our meetings here. I also want to take a moment to recognize Anne Harry. Annie is a personal friend of mine. I really appreciate her, and I also want to recognize her daughter, who isn't here but who will be the coordinator of the Housing First project. So I just want to take a moment to recognize and say how much I really appreciate all that...

Mr. Speaker, I wish to table the following document entitled “Energy Conservation Initiatives Report 2015-2016.” Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Currently, we’re not looking at any delays with it. It is scheduled to go up on the Cooper barge and so it should be there by the end of August. We’re expecting that it’ll be complete. The site work is all completed and so we’re just waiting for the modular unit to get in and then we’ll be setting it up and it should be ready to go by the end of August.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize Dana Edjericon, Archer Collinson, and Chinelle Besarra, who are Pages from our Range Lake riding. You do a wonderful job, and we are really appreciative of the service you provide to the Legislative Assembly. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In all honesty, I’m not too sure how the barge works to get into Tsiigehtchic. I can look it up and get back to the Member on that question, but like I say, it is scheduled to be in the community and set up by the end of the August. If that doesn’t work out, then we’re not projecting that there will be any difficulties, but if there is, then we’ll look at it at that time, recognizing that NTCL, this will be the last year and that we have gone out to tender to try to get another barging system in place.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, unfortunately, during the fiscal year 2015, the modular that was supposed to go into Tsiigehtchic was delayed because of the low water and the barge was unable to get into the community, but it’s scheduled to be; we’ve made arrangements for Cooper to carry it into the barge and so it should be in this year. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Ms. Green is right, I'm not sure of the name either. When I'm reading it it's the healthy family thing, so it's the parenting support program that the authority provides to parents. It used to be right across from the authority, now I'm not too sure if there's a restaurant there so I might have the location correct at this point, but it is the parenting support program that the authority goes into families and teaches parenting to struggling parents. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Now, we fund the Arctic Energy Alliance for energy supplements to the communities. The policy is for things such as our energy plan that we'll be developing, those types of things. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. I'll let Paul Guy answer that as well.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll let the deputy minister answer that question.
