Thank you, Mr. Moses. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Deputy Minister Vician.

Sorry, Mr. Dolynny. I need you to read the motion into the record.

Thank you. I appreciate the Minister’s comments and I appreciate the Beaufort-Delta, I have lots of friends in the area, it will probably make it less now that I’m bringing this up.

So I don’t even know how we justify putting those nine positions into the Beaufort-Delta when we know that the activity currently, right now, is in the Norman Wells and in the Sahtu area. We have specialists in the Hay River office that are working on some of that as well. So those are...

I will call the committee to order. We will commence committee once we take a short break.
