We’re absolutely confident in the numbers that we have. The study was done in 2009 but it did actually take into account the addition of the new buildings such as the Gallery Building. All those buildings were taken into consideration.

We’ve looked at the numbers again. We’ve looked at the Class A and B buildings, the ones that we actually utilize, and we’re confident that the rates will stay the same.

There are a lot of good things about this building. One of the things about this building is that over the lifecycle of this building it is going to save the Government of the Northwest...

Thank you, Madam Chair. In addition to the obvious review of the Legal Aid Act, which is going to hopefully give us some new direction on how to provide these types of services, the department did actually increase the legal aid division in both 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 to a total of three lawyers. It took a bit longer to fill those positions than anybody would have liked to have had. Really, those lawyers are really only getting up to speed now, compared to what existed before when much of the backlog had occurred.

We’re optimistic with these three new lawyers, plus the new one that will...

I’m going to go to Ms. Schofield for some specifics on that, but I believe that there is a process, yes.

That is the money I just mentioned, the federal money that sunsetted and we hope, we believe it is going to be coming back. If it comes back, you will see it come back by way of a supp.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. In the last Assembly the government did a comprehensive general purpose office space review and that review took into consideration all current and future space. The numbers that we have are a little bit different than the numbers that Mr. Dolynny is suggesting and I would be really interested to see where he got his numbers. For Class A and B property, which is what the government would be renting, we show 70,000 square metres here in Yellowknife and with the addition of the new Gallery Building we see an additional 5,000 square metres. This, based on our analysis...

The Member has certainly hit an area that we know there are some weaknesses, without question. We don’t provide medical terminology training to the interpreters. It’s an area that we need to find a way to find some improvements on. It’s going to take money, money we don’t happen to have, which is one of our biggest challenges.

As far as how interpreters travel with us, we tend to pick interpreters up at site at the location we’re going to, rather than necessarily having them travel with us. We try to find people who have had experience over time, coming back, coming back, coming back, coming...

Thank you, Madam Chair. There are some very specific criteria. I am happy to share that information with Mr. Yakeleya. If once looking at that we can see if there’s any way to make sure that it’s easier for people to understand, we’ll absolutely work with you, but there are some pretty specific criteria. Thank you.

We will absolutely work with other departments to see what opportunities exist for our partnership and our involvement in this area.

I believe we can provide it by community, but we have to be careful that the statistics are not so small that they’re self-identifying. So as they get smaller, we may not be able to provide them by community, we may have to provide them by region. But we will provide you everything that we can legally provide you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. With me today are Kim Schofield, who is the director of finance, and Bronwyn Watters, the deputy minister with the Department of Justice.
