Thank you, Mr. Chair. Well, we do have our regional office that doles out and conducts our inspections. The other one that we've talked about in this House beginning in April is the tourism operators are going to have a safety plan going forward. Every one of them is going to have to be able to produce that. As far as outside operators, particularly if it's, as the Member said, from outside of the territory, nothing like that has come to my attention. I would gladly sit down and have that conversation if that is taking place in the NWT. Maybe it's something that's going to have to happen if...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I can't talk about any specific operation, but I can say that it's bringing forward eligible expenses all in one year instead of having to spread out over a number of years. That's what was the big impact on that line item. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, it was vacant.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. When you read the strategy, the strategy is for all of Great Slave Lake; it's not just for Hay River, but, in particular for the Yellowknife Member, we're looking at one of them being the pickup point here, in Yellowknife. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank the Member for his comments. We have seven positions right now in that division, and I do not anticipate us cutting any of them. We have a number of things moving forward wherein we have to have people in these positions. We are going to be coming out with our strategy here very shortly on the Petroleum Resource Act. We have the Oil and Gas Operations Act that has to be maintained, as well, as the Member has said, with line 21 possibly coming on. I think, with this shutdown, it has made us kind of open our eyes and ears on the reclamation side of things, and we...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As Ms. Mujcin said, it is a timing issue, and we should be able to maybe provide the actual number closer to the end of March, the end of this quarter, what the actually number will be, but we anticipate it is probably going to be less than the $292,000 you see here because there are less hectares. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. First of all, I met with some of the fishermen when I was home this weekend, and I thought that we'd have a winter fishery. I believe there would be a concern of mine going forward if that was to take place, but it doesn't sound like they're going to do any winter fishing this year. It is from my understanding talking to some of the fishermen, come April 1st when the new money rolls out, the fishermen can't get out on the lake until late June to do that part of it. We can have a look at this, but I always thought that the subsidiary was based on the amount of fish that...

The MayJune session. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, to answer the Member's question, specifically, we haven't reached out to bring them like we normally would, like we did last year, or go to the AME Roundup type of thing that we just did in Vancouver.

In this particular case, we haven't done that because of the state of the oil and gas economy in the Northwest Territories. We're going to be coming out with our petroleum resource strategy in the near future, and, as I've said in this House, we're looking at concentrating on how we're going to use this resource locally the best we can and, at the same time, figure out...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. This line item is very similar to what has happened with the nominee program. It's a historical number, but we're looking at increasing that because then the number of applicants has actually gone up a little bit here already, and we will continue to revise these numbers as we move forward. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
