Thank you, Madam Chair. I have a few questions, I think, on fuel services. I hope this is the right area. I know in my riding, in Lutselk'e, the fuel has to be shipped in there. The prices of fuel shift from year to year. I am just wondering right now: can the Minister just explain the one item here, the actuals to the main estimates, that variance? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 64)

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. Yes. It would be nice to see some of those numbers, because, again, it goes to my next question. On page 246, there are 28 positions in headquarters, and I'm assuming that's all here in Yellowknife. If the Minister is correct in saying that there are offices around, I imagine they have all the information on the Arctic Energy Alliance, but because it is money from the public purse, it would be nice to know how many jobs the AEA has, or Arctic Energy Alliance has, outside of Yellowknife. They don't have that information, but I'll get it at a later date.

Going back to my...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I have nothing further.

Thank you, Madam Chair. That gives me a little bit more clarity. Thank you. The other item that I looked at is "other public agencies" on the same page. Can the Minister just explain what other public agencies they are making reference to in this line item? Thank you.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 64)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I heard several items that were mentioned there. I am just wondering why they are not laid out that way instead of just saying "other operations"? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that the Chair rise and report progress.

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 64)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just so all the Members are aware, I was looking at three specific policies: there's infrastructure. I didn't mean to go down this rabbit hole. I didn't expect to do that, but Infrastructure Establishment Policy, Disposal of Goods Policy, and Disposal of Improved Real Property. One of those links work, and the other two don't. That's what I was trying to get at. Thank you. Other than that, I just wanted to ask those couple of questions. Right now, I don't have anything further. Thank you.

Nothing further. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you for that response. I actually tried to look up this policy yesterday, even just now. Right now, that disposal of goods policy on the Department of Infrastructure website doesn't exist, so I'm hoping that the department can actually, probably, fix that and post that, and just let me know, get an update from maybe, hear back from the Minister on that? Thank you.
