Thanks, Mr. Chair. In the Minister's opening remarks, she indicated that there is an extra $240,000 for Victim Services. Can the Minister tell us how that money is actually allocated or split out? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair, and thanks to the Minister for that. I asked about two evaluations. Since one is ready, can you just identify which one it is and what the schedule is, then, for the other one? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes, okay, so the Minister continues to make my case for me. Do we really need to have three right off the bat starting April 1st? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Merci, Madame la Presidente. I want to thank the Minister for that. Look, this is a very long, drawn-out process. The boundaries have gone through a lot of discussion, negotiation. Any areas of even medium mineral potential were carved out of this area. The community wanted to protect the Willow River down to the Deh Cho. Even that area, the canyon, was carved down to a very small area. The problem seems to be this government is not moving forward. Look, this is a great way that we can start off on a new foot, better relationship, with our Indigenous governments. When is this government going...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I'll take that promotion. Can we just get a little bit more explanation as to what these three individuals are actually going to do? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

I want to thank the Minister for that. I am kind of putting him on the spot, but that is his job. I would like to know if he could be a little bit more particular or give us some more specifics about what these issues are. Look, this proposed protected area has been in process for years. The feds, as I understand it, are ready to go. They have the surface of the area that is going to be protected as a national wildlife area. The feds are ready to invest. I understand the community has lined up some private donors to set up a trust to hire guardians and so on. What is the problem? The problem...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. The Minister seems to be looking at some numbers. Can those be shared now with Regular MLAs? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

I want to thank the Minister for that reply. Back in June of 2019, the then-Minister of Finance read out in the House a series of proposed decreases in fees, and I mentioned those in my Member's statement. I'm not going to run through them again, but is that what the Minister going to do with the regulations that are coming forward as early as fall of this year?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Well, it only took me six minutes to get there. Look, I've met with these people. They do a good job. They've got in place some guidance. They carry out their jobs good. No issues there whatsoever. They've been very helpful any time I visited or had questions, but at some point, there is no oil and gas activity happening here. How and when will we sort of review the financial needs for OROGO, and make any necessary adjustments if there's no oil and gas activity? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Merci, Madame la Presidente. In my statement earlier today, I talked about how we have some of the best access to information, protection, and privacy legislation in the world, maybe. The problem is it hasn't been implemented; it hasn't been brought into force. I'd like to ask the Minister of Justice to explain what the next steps are with regard to bringing these changes to ATIP into legal effect and when that might happen. Merci, Madam Speaker.
