Thank you, Mr. Chair. My understanding is that the total flood costs are quite a bit higher than that. So can I just clarify whether we are expecting further supplementary appropriations to come forward for flood costs? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends the Department of Finance provide more detailed resource revenue data on gross amounts received and calculations of amounts retained;

And further, this enhanced reporting should separate annual aggregate values from petroleum, mineral resources, and each other type of resource revenues. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Okay, and just confirming that this brings our policing services contract with the RCMP up to $55 million? Is it then anticipated for the remainder of this collective agreement that would be the total amount of the contract, or is there some other thing going on where we may be more than $5 million built into next fiscal? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 130)

Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Health and Social Services provide detailed reporting and analysis on each cost driver of the Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority's persistent operating deficit;

And further, the analysis should quantify how each driver contributes to NTHSSA's operating deficit,

And furthermore, the analysis should quantify, break down, and explain for each driver the difference between.

Budgeted expenses, positions, and programs; and

Actual results.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
