Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I recognize that it's another department. Instead of going through the process of asking the question again then, I was wondering if this department knows how much money is in the Environmental -- I forget the term, but the money that's in Finance to do the actual cleanup? Could somebody tell me how much money is there? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Chairman, I move that we rise and report progress.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I just want to touch on the topics I would like to cover during the review of the Environment and Natural Resources budget. I am interested in seeing what type of forest development with working with some forest industry people can be realized by the department and by the Government of the Northwest Territories.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Is that data available to the department? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as we all know in the House, small communities have lower incomes and there would be some impact from the carbon tax so this money that the federal government has put in place is very specific to transitioning Indigenous off diesel fuel. I was wondering if the Minister could advise us if there have been any discussions specific to that initiative. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wonder if the Minister could let us know if the discussion will include non-tax-based communities that are placed strategically on the highway with no ground ambulance nearby? For example, maybe Providence, maybe Fort McPherson. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I move that committee defer further consideration of the estimates for the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs at this time. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I move that committee defer further consideration of estimates for the Department of Justice at this time. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, is there a minimum population criteria on this program?
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, assuming that there is a separate agreement or an agreement within the overall services agreement for First Nations Policing, I am wondering when the agreement expires? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
