Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'm wondering how much money would it take to fund all of the projects under the local community roads project? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Martin’s response indicated that this was an accounting reduction, and it is a reduction in the programs. But my assumption was that this was… The North Slave and South Slave district offices were fully staffed. I just thought that if there was $2 million less spent in the North Slave office only two fiscal years ago, if there was a reduction in the staff that caused that. That was what my question was. Maybe I will ask the question: was there a reduction in the staff in either of those two offices, North Slave or South Slave?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, similar questions on the reductions. My interest of course in the North Slave district and South Slave district. Just wondering if they could explain the reductions compared to the actuals in 2014-15.

Thank you. My original question was: did the money from 2015-16, some of it or most of it, lapse?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, to the Northern Pathways to Housing, there is enough money in there to do four projects, but three projects were approved. I notice that the same budget appears in last year’s revised mains and mains and also in this year’s mains. I am wondering if the money lapsed last year. Did we do three last year and doing three more this year? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize your interpreter for the last couple of weeks from Tu Nedhe, Mary Rose Sundberg. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can I get another explanation from Mr. Martin? I will try to follow it a little bit better now. It is just that I am not sure that I fully understood what the response was. I will try to quantify what I think that would be. It is just that I was listening for something else and heard something else. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chairman, sorry, it caught me a little off-guard. I thought that this was for the district operations, and in that I mean the operations of the district staff, all the staff that work in the district operations. I didn’t know that these were the program dollars for the communities. I thought they were just the staff that were there and I was anticipating that maybe there was a reduction in the number of staff in those district offices. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Last question. That means there is enough money there for one more community to come forward to access their portion of the budget? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That would be three from 2015-16 or is it three for 2016-17? Thank you.
