Thank you, Minister McLeod. Does committee agree?
Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister McLeod.
Committee, page 383, sport, recreation and youth, operations expenditure summary, $6.792 million. Does committee agree? Ms. Bisaro.
As Members, we have to get used to a new department and what roles it plays. I apologize if I may seem a bit outlandish with some of the questions. I do appreciate the response.
Just a question on the operations side, if I may. We see an amortization entry for $25,000 in the 2014-15 year and then we don’t see any amortization entry. Was there something that was completely amortized in one year, or was that at the tail end of something that we acquired? I would just like a clarification because it’s odd that you see one entry of amortization and then no entry after that. Thank you.
As you may hear, I’m trying to find some accountability and transparency for the $15 million that is distributed annually. That is the reason for my question. As I said earlier, redundancy is the Achilles heel of language preservation and revitalization. Interestingly, the Department of ECE is blinded by the obvious and we now wait for a pending MEA review.
Can the Minister confirm if his department has done any evidence-based research on redundancy since implementing the over six levels of governance? If he has, why is he so reluctant to share that with the House? Thank you.
Seeing none. Committee, page 367, lands administration, operations expenditure summary. Any questions?
Alright, committee, we’ll continue on with the Department of Lands. With that, I’ll turn it over to the Minister responsible for opening comments, Minister McLeod.
Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Committee, page 359. Mr. Bromley.
Thank you, Minister McLeod. Committee, we’re on page 380, School of Community Government, grants, contributions and transfers, total contributions, $580,000. Does committee agree?
I thank Mr. Warren for that. Do you see the role moving to anything else other than what we just heard today? Do you see this as a progression of the department for fire seasons in terms of playing a more significant role with your partners?
