Thanks, Mr. Chair, and I want to thank the Speaker for providing that information. I’m just curious, these independent statutory officers, do they prepare their own budgets and those are submitted then to the Board of Management for review, is that how the process works? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. The Minister answered the question about the annual review part but how do we compare against other jurisdictions in terms of our fees and licence payments and so on? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Just so I understand this. If all this money then is not spent subsidizing diesel, then it could be reallocated towards an investment in renewables in the current year? Would that be done through a sup? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair, I appreciate that. I guess I’ll just reiterate. I think the problem is with the design of the program. If there’s a $40,000 cap and it’s not fully subscribed, there’s a need there, the problem is with the design of the program. I’m just asking if the Minister will come to committee and try to work out a way to improve the services and redesign the program.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the Minister’s commitment to do that. I look forward to getting the information. I have one other question about the contribution for Arctic Energy Alliance. In 2015-16, it looks like there was a one-time contribution of $1.8 million done through supplementary appropriations. Can someone from the department explain what happened there? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. No other questions.

Look, I am not trying to prolong this.

I see the top that says there is an authorized fund limit of $6.5 million, yet how does that figure into all these numbers here because most of them seem to be over that amount. Can someone help me understand this? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. The $2.2 million that is referenced in the Minister’s opening remarks… I am still trying to figure out how there is an actual increase. Where is the other money that is going into that Housing Corp actually coming from if it is not a contribution from our government? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. What’s the total funding that NWTAC receives from MACA? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes. I am wondering if there is a list of the sites, the liabilities, and whether Giant Mine is on that list. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
