Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. General comments. Does committee agree to go into detail?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Lafferty.

Thank you, committee. I’d like to thank Minister Beaulieu, Ms. Desjardins and Ms. Beard for joining us today. Sergeant-at-Arms, if you could escort the witnesses out of the Chamber. Thank you.

Committee, moving along, I would like to turn your attention to Education, Culture and Employment. This is on page 11 of the capital estimates. With that, we will turn over to the Minister responsible to see if he has any witnesses to bring into the House. Mr. Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Heide. Again, committee, we’re on page 14, labour development and standards. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Continuing on with general comments, I have Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. Minister Lafferty.

Thank you, committee. Committee, turn to page 37 of your capital estimates book. We will defer this activity at this moment, and I will turn your attention to page 38, Human Resources, directorate, infrastructure investments, $440,000. Any questions? Seeing none, I will ask the committee to return to page 37, total infrastructure investments, Human Resources, total infrastructure investments, $440,000. Committee agree?

Thank you, Ms. Allison. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Madam Chair. For me, this department here, even though we are talking about capital estimates, this department here is literally the lynchpin for the way we do business in the Northwest Territories. So, again, this department has a broader aspect than just the $200,000 that we have before committee.

Madam Chair, we have been told time and time again, devolution will reduce reliance on federal funding, and yet I kept saying show me the evidence where this occurs, and to this day the department has never been able to show how and by what measure those broad statements we continue to...

Thank you, Minister Lafferty. Ms. Allison.
