Thanks, Mr. Chair. We’re going to keep going? It’s after 6:00. Okay. The last of the questions I have is where would I find funding for the Mineral Industry Advisory Board? Is that in this section? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. We don’t actually have any O and M resources devoted to the construction or management of that work? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I have raised this twice now. This is the third time. I would really appreciate having the information as soon as possible to help us review departmental budgets. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. There’s a reduction on the tourism diversification program, and I’m wondering if the Minister and his staff can explain that? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I was afraid I was going to hear this, we’re all aware that the federal government’s finally getting back into affordable housing, and that’s a good thing and we want them there, but I don’t want that to be used as an excuse for us not to spend money on housing. Is this going to be a continuing trend where if we acquire more federal dollars we’re going to start spending less ourselves on housing? Is that where we’re going? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I do have a couple of areas I want to explore and I think I’m going got probably run out of time, or r we’re going to have to have dinner soon, but the contribution to the Chamber of Mines that’s shown on this page, is that core funding that’s provided to this Chamber of Mines? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

I’ll be interested in getting the information from the Minister. If those positions are indeterminate, is there a way to roll those positions over into becoming full-time positions and supporting midwifery services in Yellowknife?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There’s a reduction in two positions here and can the Minister or staff tell us whether those are vacant positions and what they are and so on? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I’ve probably been asleep at the wheel for a while here, but 17 and 12, it looks to me like there’s a difference here of 11 positions in this section. Can the Minister tell me what happened with those 11 positions, generally what they are, and whether they were vacant or not? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair, and thanks for the explanation. Not that I don’t want to spend money on minor repair, but why is it the difference between last year, in 2015-16, and 2016-17? We just haven’t accrued the year end stuff through the accounting or what’s happening there? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
