Merci, Monsieur le President. The federal government announced a review of the environmental assessment processes on June 20, 2016. This process is being led by the Minister of Environment and Climate Change. Ottawa says that an expert panel will engage broadly with Canadians, Indigenous groups, and key stakeholders and develop recommendations to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change for restoring public confidence in environmental assessment processes. Public input is invited until July 20, 2016, on the draft terms of reference for the expert panel. Following this consultation period...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the explanation. Is this like some sort of computerized tracking system in plain language? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. There’s the female facility replacement, Fort Smith. It’s a $15-million expense that’s been carried over. Can someone from the department explain what’s going on there? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I’m just trying to understand the mechanism. If the department wanted to move forward with expansion of the school in 201617, would that have to be done through another supplementary appropriation? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I’m just looking under Education and Culture, I’m just wondering if there’s any funding? Or how would the expansion of Ecole Allain StCyr be funded, presumably not through this supplementary estimate? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. In the Minister’s opening remarks, he mentions that there is an increase in funding of $2.2 million for the NWT Housing Corporation. I am just trying to see, when I see the line here, NWT Housing Corporation, and I compare what the mains said in 2015-16 to 2016-17, that doesn’t really show a $2.2 million increase. In fact, it shows almost $3.5 million dollar decrease. Can the Minister or someone explain what is happening here? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I know it’s not a big decrease, but it looks like there’s $10,000 less for contributions here. It looks like this money is going to NWTAC, LGANT, and Arctic Energy Alliance. The $10,000 reduction, is that any of those specific organizations? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. That might help cut this discussion short next time around. I had one other question about the $25 million hit that we took in 2014-15 for sites. Is there a list of what those liabilities are? Is Giant Mine amongst that list? Can the Minister and his staff provide a listing of the liability that we assumed in that year? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
