Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister also alluded to the tolls on the Deh Cho Bridge. I’m wondering if we have any kind of audit or any kind of information on that tolling system. Have we collected more than expected, are we still having difficulties registering some of these companies? Just a quick update on the tolls on the bridge for trucking.

Thank you. I’d also like to remind the Minister of another issue of the trailers and registering one plate tied to the trailer so it stays with the trailer. That’s another issue that’s out there.

But I’ll ask the Minister, conveniently we had a Minister from Yukon Transportation here and I’m just wondering if he’s been having other meetings with other Ministers from other jurisdictions to figure out the differences in our regulations and trying to compare them.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to talk today about us politicians. Obviously, nowadays there’s quite a bit of controversy in the political news about politicians and some of us politicians are all being painted with the same brush.

I want the NWT public to know that, as Members here, we hold our jobs very seriously and the accountability that we hold is to a very high standard. When I first got here at this job a couple of years ago, I found out the NWT has some of the most stringent regulations for expenditures for MLAs. Our regulations require all MLAs to go through all our purchases...

Does committee agree that we have concluded consideration of Tabled Document 134-17(4), Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 3, 2013-2014?

Page 6, Public Works and Services, operations expenditures, asset management, not previously authorized, negative $546,000. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. I will open up the floor for general comments on Bill 17, An Act to Amend the Protection Against Family Violence Act. There are no general comments. Clause-by-clause review?

Clause 2. Mr. Dolynny.

Thank you. I appreciate the Minister’s answer there. The Minister talked about the new facility. Do we have to wait for that facility to get that kind of feedback from the general public? We’re looking for some sort of feedback that the public can give on the current operations in the current facility, as well, and what kind of timeline we’re looking at in order for implementation of that type of an advisory board.

Total department, not previously authorized, $125,000.

Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. Airports, not previously authorized, $650,000.
