Masi, Mr. Speaker. Maybe it’s environmental liabilities day or week. I apologize, I didn’t give the Minister much heads up on this. It’s been a busy week. Earlier this week, I made a statement about the significant financial security shortfall for the Cantung mine and how our government really didn’t deal with the issue after we inherited the site under devolution. Today, though, I made a statement about the significant financial security shortfall for the Prairie Creek site. Can the Minister of Lands tell this House whether the GNWT holds the surface lease for the Prairie Creek site? Masi, Mr...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. My apologies, I understand that one of my colleagues has raised this issue already, but at the risk of going over the same ground, what’s the long-term future of that facility? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. My statement today is on the proposed Prairie Creek Mine, its precarious financial position, and the environmental liability at the site. This property was first discovered in 1928 and almost went into production in 1982 before silver prices crashed. The site is currently owned by the Canadian Zinc Corporation. According to a 2016 pre-feasibility study for Canadian Zinc, the company requires about $244 million to take the property into production. In its 2015 annual filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the company noted that it has incurred...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. There is quite a big change, of course, in the way that we’re… Or the funding for the youth facilities. Am I on the right page? Are we on 267?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the response from the Minister. Are these fees then reviewed on an annual basis for comparability with other jurisdictions? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I guess I just want to start with I’m glad we’re talking about the cost of justice here and increasing access to justice. What role does the Minister see the court library playing in public education? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the response from the Minister. I’m wondering if there are other opportunities to perhaps raise more revenues within the Department of Justice. Mr. Chair, I’m wondering if I can get some comment from the Minister and his staff. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks Mr. Chair. That’s helpful information to have. Anything above $50,000 that we’re going to save with the staff person is being spent on publications? I’m trying to find out, I want to get a specific breakdown of this $467,000, and I don’t seem to be getting it from the department?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and I appreciate the response from the Minister. I guess the reason why I’m pursuing this in the House today is that the Nunavut Impact Review Board announced its recommendation recently that the Sabina Gold Project should not go ahead on the Nunavut side of the border because of its potential impact on the Bathurst caribou herd and its calving grounds. Now, the position of the Government of the Northwest Territories in that proceeding and that process was that we did not want to see any development in the calving grounds of the Bathurst caribou herd. If we’re going to...

I understood, though, that there was an internal restatement within the department where a number of costs that were associated with a library have now been apportioned to the court registries. Can the Minister or his staff confirm that? I think the figure was about $220,000. Can the Minister or his staff confirm that, please?
