Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, my only question is for the authority allocation for the Beaufort Delta Health and Social Services. I see a decrease from last year. Could the Minister explain that, please?

Mr. Speaker, my third question is: have we considered ways to let all Canadians be part of how we are going to mark this historical event?

Thanks for that, and going down to the next region allocation, I see for the Beaufort Delta, last year the total was $241,000, and this year is $223,000. Just some clarification on that. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

I hope that we don’t establish these conservation areas just to protect them from development, but also have the Aboriginal people... Like, there’s a lot of Aboriginal groups in my region. We...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just looking at the actuals from 2014-15 for climate change adaptation project, and this here it shows 200. Can the department explain the reduction? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

One more, Mr. Chair, thanks. I see the Wildlife Management Board, there is quite a drop from $223,000 to $118,000. Can the Minister or his staff explain that please? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
