Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I request unanimous consent to move to item 6, recognition of visitors in the gallery, on the orders of the day. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I move that consideration of Tabled Document 193-18(3), Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures) No. 2, 2018-2019, be now concluded and that Tabled Document 193-18(3) be reported and recommended as ready for further consideration in the formal session through the form of an appropriation bill. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am asking of course because the one Taltson power line ends at Fort Resolution, and that is at the Great Slave Lake, and then the other one ends at Hay River, and that is also the Great Slave Lake, so I do not know if you know if they are planning on tying into the Bluefish, if we are going to come across at Great Slave Lake at Hay River or if we are going to come across at Fort Resolution. I am wondering if they are going to study both of those, looking at the options. I did not think we were going to cross the Great Slave Lake. I thought we were going...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this is just more of a general comment, not particularly towards this department's investments, but I would like to ask the Minister in a general sense if they would consider own sources or project management type of approaches to some of these.

Some of these projects are near some of the communities where you have fairly highly skilled individuals that do work on buildings. In my community of Fort Resolution, I think when they built the health centre, the department may have had one person from an actual contract go in, and the rest were all local people...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, so the construction would be starting next summer. I am wondering how much of the project is expected to be completed in that fiscal year? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, committee would like to consider Tabled Document 193-18(3), Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 2, 2018-2019; and Tabled Document 194-18(3), Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 2, 2018- 2019. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Using this model as the Minister indicated, would the Minister of Homelessness reach out to other non-government organizations, or even the Indigenous governments in the communities, to run a similar type of initiative in other areas or in other communities?

Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in my Member's statement I talked about a project that was being performed by the homeless people of Yellowknife. I have questions for the Minister of Homelessness. Leading up to the launch of this new program, was the Minister of Homelessness ever approached by the city to get funding for this project, and if so, what was the answer? Thank you.

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

Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Michael Fatte in the gallery today. I spoke of Michael in the statement that I made today, working with the homeless people in Yellowknife, and I would also like to recognize YK Dene members, Jennifer Lafferty, Donald White, and the baby, Cameron Lafferty. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
