Thank you, Madam Chair. We know that the town is doing some planning and looking at it. I believe that there are potentially some issues with the building, so I would need to look at that. I would imagine that would then, again, involve the other hat I wear in how we deal with that. I will take that away and commit to coming back to the Member with a bit more of an answer. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I am not sure if the state of the plan is at a stage where we would be sharing it. However, I do commit to coming back to the Member and providing him with a briefing on where the plan is at. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Sorry. Just flipping through the regions by funds. I will pass this over to Ms. St-Denis. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. We do have new changes that are coming into force within the next month. Based on that work before, no, we have not been renaming those positions. When you said there's nothing going on in oil and gas, and then state that there are people working in oil and gas, that's why I would draw that conclusion. I stand corrected. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, they do pay the same fee. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was looking to have that easy "Yes. I have read the report." I have read the report and the recommendations. Thank you. Ultimately, the report and everything in it seems to be a very good summary of the conversations that we have been having as a 19th Assembly here over the last eight months. There was a lot of good information in there that I am keen to see started. We do need to sit down as a group and determine what we want to get out of our procurement review. However, I had directed the department to do so ahead of COVID. Obviously, we are continuing on with that...
Thank you, Madam Chair. Food security is obviously a mandate priority of our Assembly. Yes, we are currently actually reviewing all of our programs around food security. We are creating, I don't know what we want to call it at this point, but maybe a secretariat, maybe not the right word, but a group within the department whose focus will be solely on food security, then to liaise with the other departments, with health and others, that would have roles to play in that. We're recognizing that food security is no longer just a little section tacked onto the side and that it does need its own...
Thank you, Madam Chair. First, Madam Chair, I'm just going to return. I do have your number; I didn't scroll far enough over. For the Tlicho Government, we provide $292,000 for the economic development officer, the initiatives there. Then, back to the community futures, those are always very well over-subscribed, definitely. I know that is one that we do in conjunction sometimes with CanNor, and such, and they provide funding that way, as well. So there were 18 of 19 vacancies on that last time; that's why there's the variance, there.
Yes, I would agree, community futures is an area that we...
Thank you, Madam Chair. I would have to look at what number that would account to; however, I am very open to exploring it. It would be about $825,000 of loss, so I guess I probably shouldn't have said it's nominal. It's nominal for an individual to come to the site. However, I would offer that, if people are finding that that is a burden, to come and talk to me, and we will see what we can do. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I think, on this one, I will ask Ms. Strand to answer. Thank you.
