Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 15)

I can save them for later, Mr. Chair, but I’m trying to find the revenue and apparently there is none.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 15)

Page 8-37 shows $11 million going out. I presume we get money from the feds. Where is that recorded? Thank you.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 15)

Thanks to the Minister for clarifying that. I am very glad to hear that the money has been added to the base for outside placements. That’s something that has been needed for quite a long time.

My last question here on this revenue page is: When the details of the federal funding are known, would the Minister commit to share that information with committee and have a conversation with committee about how the federal money is being used?

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 15)

Thank you, Madam Chair. We would like to continue with Tabled Document 22-17(5), the Main Estimates for 2014-15, with the Department of Health and Social Services.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 15)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister of Finance. The revenue summary in the 2014-15 Main Estimates, Department of Finance, page 5-9, lists personal income tax at $104.8 million and corporate income tax at $53.1 million. The 2014-15 budget address stated these revenues will be about $30 million lower than forecasted.

Please advise, in dollars, how much personal income tax and corporate income tax revenues are expected in fiscal year 2014-15, including the anticipated loss of $30 million.

Please advise the total expected revenues, in dollars, for the fiscal year 2014-15.

Please...

I’ve mentioned but a few of the tactics that we should be putting in place if we’re serious about keeping Northerners in the North.

The Finance Minister has said that the government is working on some things already to accomplish the 2,000 in five years goal. The Minister has today been given a number of suggestions by me and others which can be incorporated into whatever plan the government has. Members need to hear just what that plan is and we need to hear it sooner rather than later. I look forward to critiquing that plan, hopefully in the near future. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 15)

No, I have no more questions on this page, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 15)

So we are spending $11 million-something-or-other, $11.9 million over what the federal government funds us for. Is that correct?

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 15)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I just have another question that arose on this page, listening to Mr. Dolynny’s back and forth. Where is the revenue from NIHB recorded on this page? Thank you.

Debates of , 17th Assembly, 5th Session (day 15)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to thank the Minister for the information on the THSSI funding which is about to expire and on the new funding which we are about to get but we don’t know what we’re going to use it for. I was going to ask what the department intended to use if for, but I can appreciate that without the detail. But I am somewhat confused.

Before I go there, if the Minister could provide committee with the information that he listed off about the numbers and so on that THSSI is used for. I don’t know if we have that or not, but it would be helpful if we had that listed, whatever he...
