Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Next I have Ms. Bisaro.

Welcome back, committee. Next on our list we have the Department of Executive. With that, we have Premier McLeod. Premier McLeod, do you have any opening comments?

Thank you, Premier McLeod. We’ll open up the floor to general comments.

Thank you, Madam Chair. My questions are somewhat in line with the Member for Hay River North. The recent population statistics showed that we increased by a whopping two people lately and we’re still trying to find where those two people are. Given the fact that population is relatively flat and taxation is based on a per capita increase in the area we see here, where is the department getting their calculations or their crystal ball, so to speak, that we’re going to be seeing an influx of people? Our statistics show, like I said, an increase of just two people in the last census.

I appreciate the details. Would the Minister or the department consider sharing the findings of this evergreen plan, sharing their approved capital list for outdated or near lifecycle of major capital equipment, and if this could be submitted to the Social Programs committee so we can keep a monitoring of this as these large ticket items appear over the life of the 17th Assembly? Thank you.

Ms. DeLancey.
