Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Neudorf.

Mr. Speaker, thanks to the Minister for that. I appreciate that. I firmly agree with the Minister that we should be making sure that public funds are used properly. But in the Minister’s statement there is a statement he made that I really don’t quite understand. I would ask him to clarify. The Minister stated, “We will be asking communities to provide quarterly reports to ensure the framework continues to meet their needs.” Does this mean that communities are required to do quarterly reports on their spending or does it mean something else? Thank you.

Advanced education, not previously authorized, $359,000.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. The motion is being distributed. The motion is on the floor. The motion is carried.

Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. Okay, committee, we will turn to Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 1. Are we agreed to go to detail?

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. We are on page 13, Transportation, capital investment expenditures, highways, not previously authorized. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are addressed to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. On May 28th the Minister made a statement in the House. He talked about an accountability framework that has been developed by MACA in conjunction with the Local Government Administrators of the NWT and the NWT Association of Communities. I applaud that. I wanted to just ask the Minister a couple of questions relative to this accountability framework and his statement. There are a few things that I would like to get clarification on.

It is not clear to me from the Minister’s statement...

Total department, not previously authorized, $977,000.

Thank you, committee. Mr. Menicoche, what is the will of committee?
