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.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I didn't think it was appropriate for me to ask the deputy. I wonder if the deputy minister can give us the same type of detailed response on the land use plans for the Akaitcho land use plan. Thank you

I just didn't want to speak for other communities, but that's generally what I'm looking for. So if they're making them the same, I'm assuming that the Minister is now talking about going with a more reasonable amount? On the leases, previously we were getting leases in small communities for about $600 a year, and for the value and if you compared to other communities that's very much in line, but now we have new leases on old houses that could be as high as $4,000, which is kind of comparable to paying taxes on a house that's worth $750,000 to $1 million in the City of Yellowknife.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to thank the deputy for that response.

Mr. Chairman, I have a question for the Minister. Can the Minister tell me if the land use plans have to be in place and approved in accordance with the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act prior to its final settlement with the outstanding land rights groups? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to ask the Minister how old the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act is? Thank you.
