The Pine Point site falls under the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board. ENR works closely with all other departments. Related to this land use it would be the Department of Lands and ENR. Under ENR we’d have a water licence and all these things are monitored adverse to the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board. Back to the federal government, if it’s a federal government responsibility and we’re still trying to figure out how that’s working with devolution. The remediation plan will have to be coming probably from the federal government; no different than other federal sites.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would have to check with the federal government if this is part of the devolution final agreement on contaminated sites and get back to the Member where that’s at if it’s part of devolution.

I would have to get back to the Member on that particular issue. I’m not quite certain how they’re linked together. In the land use plan there’s a Territorial Land Use Plan Strategy and the Deh Cho has their process for their protected areas as well. I’d have to get back to the Member on that.

Thank you, Ms. Speaker. As I’ve said, we are moving forward with the conservation network planning for the NWT. Hopefully within this session we’re going to be tabling Healthy Land, Healthy People NWT Conservation Area Action Plan 2015-2020. Within that strategy it’s going to have an engagement section and we want to get going on all these areas that were put forward as soon as we can once this is brought to the House. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I respect the Member’s comments, but I think that the briefing that we’ll offer will help clear up a lot of this stuff, and we’ll look forward to engaging with committee. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, it is. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Speaker, I wish to table the following document entitled “Northwest Territories State of the Environment Report Highlights 2016.” Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. We're going to be rolling this out as early as this month on the engagement strategy. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Like the deputy minister said, this initiative has been moved over to Public Works and Services, so I remind Members that questions on that initiative would be geared towards them. But the other thing is that on the fuel savings, I think it was predicted a 30 per cent savings on most biomass applications. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. To my left is Susan Craig, director of finance. To my right, immediate right, is Ernie Campbell, deputy minister, and to my far right is Erin Kelly, assistant deputy minister.
