The Member is asking for a lot of detail that I didn’t come prepared with because we were looking at the overall numbers. If the Member is looking for more detail, then I’ve committed to providing him with as much detail as he would like.

Mr. Chair, I wasn’t prepared for that particular question, so I will get the information and share it with the Member.

The highway rescue, I mean, it’s something that’s really come to light lately, and we have an interdepartmental working group, I think ourselves with Health and Social Services, Justice and Transportation, and so they’re doing some work there as to the next steps we can take.

Once we get the information for all these particular issues, we’ll share with the Members of the committee. On this particular one, there was a slight increase in the number of licences that were issued. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table the following document, entitled Government of the Northwest Territories Response to Motion 19-17(3), Child Tax Benefit Clawback.
