Statements in Debates
Thank you. They have up until the end of this year to get the receipts in for payment. I take it all the applications up to the full amount were approved, and now they are just waiting for the invoicing portion of it, I take it? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
That's all I have for that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, committee would like to consider Minister's Statement 32-18(3), Update on the Northwest Territories Disability Framework and Action Plan, followed by consideration of Tabled Document 63-18(3), Main Estimates 2018-2019, with the Department of Infrastructure as items for discussion. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this question would also be applicable to all the other revolving funds that are in this department.
In this particular one, and they're all similar, there is a $55 million Petroleum Products Revolving Fund. It appears as though they drew down $37.4 million. My question is: is $55 million recorded in the debt or is it separate from the debt, or is it $37 million that's recorded in the debt or is it separate from the debt? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today celebrates International Women's Day. This year marks the 109th global commemoration for women, as International Women's Day was first celebrated in 1909.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I could see that being, yes, I guess, okay for the timing. I am not 100 per cent sure that fits the timing, but, anyway, I will move on.

Lutselk'e has always indicated that they would like to see a winter road go in there. I know that it is difficult, probably, to maintain a winter road that wouldn't remain much longer than a month, more like three weeks before the ice starts to change. Would the Minister agree to at least take a...
I will move on to this section. Mr. Chair, the money that is allocated in the winter road is only to maintain the existing winter roads right now? Is there any money in there to possibly build new winter roads? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is clear to me. Thank you. That is all I have.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just to get it cleared up in my own mind, on page 245, we have the Community Access Program that we just exchanged on, the $1.5 million, and then, for local roads, it is also called CAP, and it provides a contribution. I am wondering if these are two different pots of money, or if this is the same pot of money. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have nothing further on this page.
