Thank you, Mr. Chair. If there were funding needed to operate an arena or keep the youth centre open, the Minister is advising me now that that money is coming from the community government funding on page 331 and not the recreational funding, which is also on that page as a community government contribution. Is that correct? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Aboriginal people represent 50 per cent of the population in the Northwest Territories, yet only 31 per cent of the GNWT's workforce is made of Indigenous Aboriginal people.

The bottom line is that the GNWT must know its human resource numbers. It must know the potential for each and every Aboriginal employee currently in the workforce in order to maximize their talents, and it must take steps to welcome new Aboriginal people into the public service. Only then can we resolve the issue of Aboriginal people feeling like they do not belong in the GNWT. Thank...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That is all I have.

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.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, also could I get the Minister to explain the $10 million drop in the Building Canada Plan also? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I just want to ask the Minister on the costsharing arrangements with the territorial police services agreement and the First Nations policing? Thank you.
