Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Ms. Schofield, Ms. Haener, welcome to the Chamber.

Committee, we’re going to begin today’s deliberations with some general comments. With that, with our conventional protocol, I will allow Members to go through one time for 10 minutes and I will allow the Minister to respond. If I could say to the Minister, you do not need to respond to each individual question within the parameter from the Members. Maybe aggregate your responses accordingly. With that, we’ll open up to general comments. Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Ms. Schofield.

Go ahead, Mr. Bromley.

Mr. Hawkins, if I can get you to repeat that question, please.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Continuing on with questions on 9-13, I have Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to clarify. I just wanted to take a moment to look at the line item on grants and contributions that lists $179,000. This number is in reference to, I guess, on-the-land programs, in other words we call them wilderness camps and in this case there’s an elders’ program as well. We know, as a committee, that wilderness camps have been on the radar for the department for some time. We know that we haven’t had many in existence probably for about two years. The last two that we had of value was the Kozo Lake adult camp and the Sahtu elders’ camp. We know those...

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Ms. Haener. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Ms. Haener.

Thank you, Ms. Schofield. Mr. Hawkins.
