I believe in the briefings that the Minister provided, out of the multi-millions that the federal government was allocating, we would be entitled to about $500,000 of that. My final question is on this immunization program. They are not always scheduled. I do believe that the meningitis question came about because this was going around and there were opportunities for youth and teenagers to be getting together and the Minister felt that it was prudent to immunize them against meningitis. My question is, is there a scheduled and predictable immunization campaign that is going to happen next...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a question on the contribution for the NWT Economic Development Advisory Forum. We see in the books that this group has existed for a number of years and the funding has been ongoing, and there is sharing with the federal government, as well. But I have not heard much from this group. How often do they meet and how do they produce their advice to the government and how are we, the Members on this side, informed about what they're doing with respect to our economic forecast? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thank you for that answer. I would look forward to hearing more about that from the Board of Management whenever they are ready to present to us. I do appreciate the work that the Board of Management does. It is very tough work, but I know they are working very hard at it.

Mr. Chairman, I have another question on the second paragraph of the opening statement of the Speaker.

Thank you. I understand the breakdown of other expenses have been stated already. A large part of that is on travel. Could I ask for information on what the remaining portion of that $1.6 million is?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could I get a further breakdown then on what else is included in that fees and payments, and the contract services for $331,000, and other expenses under other expenses for $200,000? Thank you.

Where would that come out of under the itemized account that I just got? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I know the Minister is before us to review the DPW budget, but he does wear other hats. Is it safe to say then that because of the way the budget is budgeted and spent, and the fact that utilities are dispensed as expenses under each division, is it safe to say that we don't really have a good clear picture on how much the GNWT spends on utility bills and as a customer? Thank you.
