Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 54)

I think there's some confusion. Right now we're doing community energy plans, like I said, for the community of Fort Providence and Aklavik. That's an energy plan. The other ones that we're currently trying to finish up in the Northwest Territories is the community energy profiles for all the communities, and that is the ones -- the Sahtu community is done, I will be able to give the Member from across.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There's already a difference in local and northern because a local person gets an extra percentage for BIP versus a company that's from outside the community, so that's already in place. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is why I said I wanted to review how SEED is getting allocated, but, in the grants and contributions, if you look in there, it is broken out into five different areas right now, sector support, micro business, entrepreneur support, community economic development, and business intelligence and networking. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 53)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm pleased to present the 2017-2018 Main Estimates for the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment. Overall, the department's estimate proposes a decrease of $4.4 million or 7.3 per cent over the 2016-2017 Main Estimates. These estimates continue to support the GNWT's objectives of ensuring a strong sustainable future for the government and its programs by effectively managing expenditures due to limited revenue growth. The 2017-2018 Main Estimates include an increase of $124,000 from the 2017-2018 Business Plan Review by Standing Committee in September.
