Merci, Madam la Presidente. Committee wishes to consider Tabled Document 56119(2): Main Estimates 20222023, with Education, Culture and Employment and Justice. Mahsi, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, I'm just quickly trying to troll through my own emails to see if I got a heads up about this. But if the Minister or the staff want to send that again, I'd be happy to put it on my own Facebook page and YK Facebook page and so on, and I'm sure others would be as well. So it would be great to get those in place and operating. I don't think I have any other questions about this section, Madam Chair. Thank you.

Merci, Monsieur le President. I want to thank the Minister for that. I'm happy to work with her to put some pressure on the feds.

So a significant portion of the carbon tax paid by large emitters goes to fund installation of greenhouse gas reduction infrastructure but switching to biofuels doesn't really require any infrastructure. And it's not clear what whether the retained carbon tax money set aside for GHG reductions can be used to purchase biofuels.

Can the Minister confirm whether any of the GNWTretained carbon taxes and/or the large emitter trust funds can be used to purchase biofuels...

Thanks, Madam Chair. I'm not going to hold my breath forever but, yeah, I look forward to some results. Thank you. And that's all I've got, Madam Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. My questions are for the Minister of Infrastructure who has lead responsibility for the 2030 Energy Strategy, and her department commissioned a recent research on biofuels in the NWT.

Now that we know the promise and the challenges that biofuels present, I'd like to know from the Minister what are the next steps and proposed timeline? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

No, thanks, I appreciate that commitment from the Minister. And I think that subject's going to come up in one of the other activities that we're going to get to.

But on integrated case management, I understand that this is a program that's largely centered in Yellowknife. And I think a while back, we did have a return on social investment study that was done that was very complimentary of the program and the assistance that it offers to the clients, very successful.

Are there any plans to expand this program outside of Yellowknife, perhaps into some of the regional centres? Thanks, Madam Chair...

Merci, Monsieur le President. The GNWT has set a target of reducing its GHG emissions by 30 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. As we know, the NWT is heavily dependent on burning nonrenewable fossil fuels to meet our transportation, space heating, and other needs. Switching to a renewablysourced liquid fuel is an obvious way to lower our greenhouse gas output and, with it, our contribution to climate change. That’s a key part of the plan that the Yukon government has developed.

Investigating those possibilities prompted the GNWT to commission a report by the Saskatchewan Research Council on...

Thanks. Let's stop dancing around here. Look, clearly, there's a reduction made in this activity area which is supposed to be arm's length from Department of Justice, probably even arm's length from our government to some extent. And I just can't figure out where the money that was cut here actually goes, whether it just stays within the department and is treated as sort of money within the department and is picked up somewhere else and used. I don't think that that's a fair representation of what should be an independent regulator. That's not what I think is a fair presentation of the...

Thanks. And any changes then from last year? Thanks, Madam Chair.

All right. Well, I don't believe I heard and as I said, I don't have the Minister's opening remarks in front of me and I don't have they're not available on Lootle. I don't believe the Minister said there was any reductions anywhere in the Department of Justice budget. Can the Minister confirm that there were no reductions according to the FMB classifications, because I don't think that was in the Minister's opening remarks. Thank you, Madam Chair.
