I would assume that would be under the Department of Finance. Could I get clarity?

Thank you, Minister Ramsay, for those kind words. Ms. Magrum, enjoy your retirement.

I’m not going to disagree with the Minister on some of those comments, but he brought up the 2008 subprime mortgage issue. I’m not sure how that fit into the response, but anyway.

I think Members on this side of the House have made things perfectly clear. We are very concerned going into this budget on this shortfall. I believe, personally, that this shortfall has caused a tethering, if you will, in the fiscal strategy of this government. It’s unfortunate that we weren’t able to calculate that properly and I think that has put a real kink in the cogwheel in terms of what our forecasting will be...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just as more of a clarification, this is the one time of year where I sometimes get an update on some of these great programs. One of them here on this activity page, the Take a Kid Trapping, just a question is how many kids are involved in this program and if they could let me know of how many Aboriginal children versus non-Aboriginal kids.

Do we have any preliminary numbers, given what we know thus far when production will commence, as to what type of money we would be looking potentially for the fiscal year? Thank you.

Does committee agree that consideration of the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment is completed?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My questions will be around the same theme as my colleagues, around the personal income tax and the corporate income tax.

I guess to set the stage here is to look at what the past has shown us, and if you look at the past tabled documents when it looks at the main estimates, the curiosity I have here is I find that there has been some revised-revised estimates, that I am looking at here with respect to the ‘13-14 revised estimates. But that’s fine. We kind of got the explanation here from the deputy minister.

I just wanted to be clear; we have heard from the Minister...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want some clarification here regarding the NWT BDIC, not so much about the expenditures of monies but the fact remains this entity was established in 2005 and under Section 41 of the NWT Business Development and Investment Corporations Act it says it should have a mandatory review every five years, so if it was in effect since 2005, we should have had at least one review and should be almost slated for a second review.

Can the Minister indicate where we are at with that mandatory component of Section 41 of the act? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. We were on page 12-17, right, Madam Chair? Thank you very much.

I just want to follow up on the question I asked earlier about the reinvestment of the Polar Bear Brand of diamonds. I did get an indication here that every dollar will be going back into investment. Once the diamond manufacturing plants will be operational, can the deputy minister indicate what sort of investment, once this money is flowing in, will be done to promote this brand? Thank you.

If I could get you to return to page 12-7. Mr. Ramsay.
