So if it's proposal based that means that any community could Madam Chair, anybody could any community or regional centre could put proposals in, anything to do with recreation or sport; right? Am I correct? Thank you, Madam Chair.

I don't have any other questions. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The Office of the Fire Marshal, you know, it's been this is, we're in our third year, Madam Chair, and we have asked for briefings at the government operations committee and at various times, and we still never got that briefing and then we're in our third year as elected Members.

First of all, I also want to know how many people work in that office. And, you know, it has a lot to do with the relationship also, Madam Chair, with the business community and there are times when there's there has to be a really good balance between what that office does and communications...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the other day a very serious incident took place in my community of Fort Smith. A violent crime was committed, and it resulted in the death of someone in my community. The entire town was put on lockdown for at least 24 hours over the weekend, and a man hunt had ensued for the suspect who thankfully has now been apprehended as of yesterday afternoon.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the family of the deceased, the Webb family and the Tourangeau family, I want to thank all the residents of Fort Smith for the overwhelming amount of support that was given. The level...

This is a really important part in community governments, especially in small communities. And I know that we're going to a polytechnic university very short in the future and hopefully in the next year or so. I guess I'm kind of wondering what is the oversight on these training programs? Because it's that is really important with the governance within the communities. Many times we run into you always hear on the news that oh, there's been deficiencies and all this in this such and such a community. There's an investigation going on and all these things. And you know, sometimes when you...

Thank you, Madam Chair. On page 356, there's an allocation to the program management of $1,072,000, and the training programs itself is 1.8, $1.83 million.

You know, the allocation of training in that program seems I mean, it takes $1 million of program management for 1.8. The balance doesn't seem quite right. So I was just I just wanted an explanation on why you have to have such a large program management for a course for training programs for $1.8 million. Thank you, Madam Chair.

So on 296, I mean, three lines and we're spending $50 million there, and we have the added costs of $3.5 million for policing for the extra whatever, and then you have the $8 million. It's just well over $60 million. What does biology case work cover for $183,000?

Mr. Speaker, in my Member's statement, I talked about the government of the Yukon conducting a review of the Yukon police force. That review produced a final report, along with several recommendations for improving oversight to the RCMP and building trust with the public. The NWT could learn a thing or two from that work.

Has the Minister or the Justice department ever looked at the Yukon's police force review, and if so, have any of these recommendations been considered for the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So the community justice committees and projects, could you give us the allocation by community, please. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my statement last November about the Territorial Police Service Agreement, I talked about an aspect of that agreement called the contract management committee. The Minister of Justice explained that the contract management committee is a nationallevel group that supports information sharing and collaboration among provinces and territories, the public safety, Canada, and the RCMP.

The NWT is represented on that committee by the assistant deputy minister solicitor general branch of the NWT. While that may sound good on paper, this is not what I was hoping...
