Thank you to the Minister. I understand that, but you also said or somebody said that the payment is going to be on a schedule established by the board. I presumed that schedule would not be in advance of the licence. I presumed it would be I get my licence and then I pay over a number of years. Pardon me, Mr. Minister, but I’m getting a little confused or I have been confused and I’m trying to just find out where we’re going. I’m happy if you tell me that these things are going to be worked out and you will advise Members and committee later on down the line, but it’s a real concern for me...

Thanks to the Minister for telling me things that I already know. Thanks very much. My question, I don’t believe, was answered. I’d like to ask the Minister again, what is this government doing to address the 19 recommendations that came from the Coalition Against Family Violence in the last year or two?

Thanks to Mr. Schauerte. I guess I’m trying to understand, it’s based on a formula, that I understand, but if it’s forced growth, how does the formula address forced growth? I mean, generally if there’s a formula, you’ve got a pot of money and you apply the formula and divvy it up to the communities, but this explanation suggests to me that the communities are indicating forced growth and, therefore, the pot of money increases, so I’m just trying to reconcile how this works. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have some questions today for the Minister of Justice. I want to follow up on my Member’s statement, and I’d like to talk a little bit about what this government is doing to address the issue of violence against women and family violence. When Minister Miltenberger gave his budget address, as I mentioned in my statement, I heard very little about violence against women and the Coalition Against Family Violence, so I’d like to know from the Minister of Justice if he could please advise what kind of funding is in this budget, this ’14-15 budget, for the Coalition...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. With regard to the community government grants and contributions at the bottom of this page, there has been an increase from ’12-13 to ’13-14 and then again in ’14-15, so is this like a cost of living increase or is it for some other reason? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to echo Mr. Bromley; I had the same questions. I am really pleased to hear that the department is willing to look at this because it has been a number or years where it has sat at the same level, so I’m glad that there is an opportunity to perhaps increase it.

My question on this page has to do with the youth corps money. I see that the department has changed the descriptions of various things somewhat and made them more obvious, so I don’t have to ask the question about what things mean, but I do notice that on page 34 we have $675,000 for youth corps, then...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I wanted to ask a question with regard to the grant for community government funding. It’s the same amount as last year. I believe, although it does say allocated in accordance with the Extraordinary Funding Policy, the last time we asked about this I believe that there really wasn’t a lot of usage of this particular fund. So I’d like to know in ’13-14 how much of the $168,000 was used and maybe if they’ve got the information where it was used, to whom it went. Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I just have one question and I forgot to ask it earlier and realized it belongs on this page. It has to do with legislation or a legislative agenda as well.

Members have been asking since the 16th when or if MACA will take action on Access to Information and Protection of Privacy legislation for municipalities. The last I understood there was some work that was going on. I believe there was some consultation with communities. Can I get an update on where that is at as well? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’m trying to understand some of the numbers on this page and since they’re new there’s not a lot of information that we have to give us any background. So two questions on this page. Regulatory revenues, I’m comparing it to what was in MACA previously and this is up, I think, maybe $20,000 or so, from what was in the general revenue, regulatory revenues in MACA. So with this one, I guess, I would like to know where these revenues come from, what fees and charges make up this $67,000 and the other question has to do with the lease amount, the lease amount is about $2.4...

Thanks to the DM for that. I appreciate that it’s on the list, but it’s been on the list for about three years now. Is this something that’s going to get solved one way or the other before the end of the 17th Assembly? Thank you.
