Thank you. Page 7-17, activity summary, asset management, operations expenditure summary, $82.229 million. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Any further general comments, committee? If not, we’ll move over to Minister Abernethy for an opportunity to respond to general comments. Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister Abernethy.

Keeping within the parameters of this category here, we know that with other programs and services we have the transition within PeopleSoft from 8.9 to 9.1. There’s also an e-Performance project initiative that I believe is happening within this fiscal framework. Those two initiatives, can we get more clarity as to exactly what those costs will be for those changes?

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. Abernethy.

Page 7-14, Mr. Hawkins. Go ahead.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Tabled Document 3-17(3), Northwest Territories Main Estimates 2012-2013, and would like to report progress. I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

Thank you. I’d like to welcome the witnesses to the House again. I appreciate you coming down today. With that, I will open up the floor to general comments on the Department of Public Works and Services. Mr. Yakeleya.

Minister Abernethy, before we have you answer again, if we have commitment to provide that detailed information to the Member. Any further update, Mr. Abernethy?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, I do appreciate the angle we’re going here, and again mention the fact that we’re waiting for communication capability to be as good as the department feels it should be and we’ve got to go through this due diligence process here before joining really the rest of Canada.

Again, we’re the only community or territory or province that has not signed on to the National Alert System. Can we have more specifics from the Minister when he feels and when the department feels that we are ready to sign on board? Thank you.
