Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I just wanted to ask the Minister why there is such a huge drop in the two line items “Elections NT” and “compensation and benefits” on this page. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the same fund… I’d like to ask the Minister if that can be treated as capital?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the Minister if the gas tax can be used for capital.

No, thank you. That’s it, Mr. Chairman, thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, committee wishes to consider Tabled Document 50-18(2), Main Estimates, 2016-2017, and we’d like to continue consideration of Municipal and Community Affairs to Legislative Assembly and Finance.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to ask the Minister on lot rentals and that. Again, I recognize that this is not a line object here, on our budget, but again, same with the previous speaker, a lot of people are wondering about the change and the high cost of renting lots as opposed  that will never become ownership or free title land until after the land claim is settled, from my understanding.

I'm wondering why that model is being used, the lot rental model, by this department. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I, too, have to get some clarification in this area. I just want to ask the Minister if there is still such lots that have band lot status in the communities?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, committee wishes to consider Tabled Document 50-18(2): "NWT Main Estimates 2016-2017." We would like to continue the Department of Justice, Lands, Transportation, Public Works, Municipal and Community Affairs, Legislative Assembly, and Finance. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I'd like to ask the Minister if his department is able to commit funding to YK Dene First Nation for their skill development program.

Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. As per my Member's statement, I'd like to ask the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment some questions. Will the Minister have the Department of Education, Culture and Employment work with YK Dene First Nation on implementing components of Skills 4 Success? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
