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.

I appreciate the response again from the Minister. The federal government has now indicated they are ready to repeal sections of some changes that were made to Yukon environmental assessment legislation. Has the Minister received any assurances from the federal government that they are going to be repealing the changes to the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act, and is there a timetable for those changes?

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Earlier today I spoke about the recently announced federal review of the environmental assessment processes. While I welcome this initiative to rebuild public confidence, there is no place for residents in the Mackenzie Valley to participate in this review. Can the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations shed any light on why we have been excluded from this review and whether this was discussed in his meeting with the federal Minister for Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes, this is something important that we need to move along, so I’ll agree. Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Under the taxation list here, there’s a bunch of revenue coming in and there’s a couple of trends I’m just wondering about here. Personal income tax has been higher back in 201415, but the projection here is that it will continue to increase, even though we’re in tough economic times, so the personal income tax is increasing, but, payroll taxes, the projection is that there’s going to be a decrease. I’m just wondering if someone from the department can explain these two contrasting trends? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes, I would be interested in seeing that sort of document. There is obviously no sort of urgency, now we have a number of other things. If the department could provide that, even in conjunction with the next business plan, that would be helpful. Thanks, Mr. Chair. That is all I have.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. A couple of things here I wanted to pursue. Presumably this is the section where taxes are dealt with in some measure. I’m just wondering, the federal government made a commitment to increase the northern resident tax deduction. They didn’t index it. I’ve raised that here in the House, and I know the Minister was just at a Finance Ministers’ meeting in Vancouver, I think, on the weekend. It just came to my mind that I should ask him, was there any movement towards indexing of the northern resident tax deduction at that meeting, and has he had an opportunity to work with his...
