Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just have one question here on page 9-40. The Not Us! drug awareness campaign had money in 2011-12. Well, last year and the upcoming year there’s no money. I’m assuming that that’s federal money, but if the Minister could confirm that. I know the campaign is still running, so how are we funding it?

I just want to follow up. In terms of risk management, do we feel comfortable that we have a really good handle on all of our buildings, all of our GNWT assets in terms of the insurance risk and risk of loss, I guess for lack of a better way of putting it?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Abernethy.

Thanks, Mr. Chair, and thanks, Mrs. Ballantyne. The program review office has been in place and in effect for a number of years now. I wonder if I could get an idea of a number of projects or the number of reviews, I guess, that the department does in any one year. Thank you.

Perhaps the Minister could explain to me what things cannot be done on-line.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have to start with my pet peeve and that’s the amount of money that’s in “other.” I talked about this a lot. I thought we’d gotten rid of that, Mr. Minister, and I understand the explanation. But if it’s an amount that’s $50,000 or $200,000 then it probably isn’t too much, but when we have an “other” of $13 million, although I appreciate that $8 million of it is the debt, it’s a little difficult to sort of look at the budget and kind of go yeah, yeah, we just have $13 million of undescribed money. I’ll just leave that at that.

I wanted to talk a bit about insurance and...

Sergeant-at-Arms, if you would please escort the witnesses into the Chamber.

Mr. Abernethy, if you would introduce your witnesses for us, please.

Thanks to the Premier for that information. We’re doing three in this budget year that we’re discussing, so is it the intention of the department to add another two or three every year until we reach the complement of where we want to get to?

Thanks to the Minister for that information. I look forward to seeing those amendments when they come forward.

My other question on this page had to do with legal registries. As we move forward in this electronic world of ours, I believe it is a goal of the department to do more and more on-line, and to provide greater access to documents and making applications on-line, et cetera. Where are things at with the department in terms of getting or allowing our residents to have greater access to information and to application forms on-line?

Thanks to the Minister. What kind of a time frame are we looking at? Is it going to be within the 2013-14 budget year or are we looking at 2014-15? Thank you.
