Thanks, Mr. Chair. We are spending money in 2016-17 to support the Film Rebate Program? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I understand that the membership of the board is just people from the mining industry, and that’s good, but has the department looked at a way to try to broaden representation of other public interests on the board, including say Aboriginal governments or environmental organizations to just provide a bit more representative set of advice to the Minister? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Would the Minister then commit to providing information to the House about how much we’re spending to build these homes, operate them, and what sort of revenues we’re getting back? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I just would like to go back to the Mackenzie Valley development contribution of $400,000. I believe I heard the Minister say that we’re spending $100,000 for offices and salary and so on. What’s the other $300,000 for then? Thanks. Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. As I understand it, this is something that was set up as a result of requirements in the federal legislation. We simply mirrored it, but I have some questions about how that was done and so on. I want to start with the revenue line here. There’s a big drop between 201415 and 201516. Can someone explain what that drop is all about? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

No. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I guess though in some cases the Minister’s getting advice from the same people? Because probably some of the same people involved in the chamber are also involved with the Mineral Industry Advisory Board? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Why I’m asking this reason or these questions is I’m concerned that, look, I think we all want to keep RCMP in the communities and we want to look after them and treat them well and so on, but we’re devoting our scarce O and M funds, maybe even some capital funds, to building housing that perhaps the RCMP should be managing and doing themselves. Is this taking away from our ability to provide housing for our own people in our own communities? That’s the question I guess I have for the Minister. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The amount of money in this line is decreasing over time. Is that what we can expect in the future as well? I am just not sure what we are getting out of the secondary industry at this point. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the commitment by the Minister. I’m just trying to understand, are we still voting on the number that’s listed over on page 246? Does that change in some amount, or I just don’t understand how this is going to appear. Presumably, the departmental budget overall is not changing, but we’re talking about… The Minister talked about some internal reallocations. How does that show up in the mains? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
