Thank you, committee. We move to page 1-14, information item, Legislative Assembly, office of the Clerk, active positions. Any questions? Seeing none, page 1-17, activity summary, Legislative Assembly, office of the Speaker, operations expenditure summary, $325,000.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Tabled Document 3-17(3), Northwest Territories Main Estimates 2012-2013, and would like to report progress with four motions being adopted and that consideration of Tabled Document 3-17(3) is concluded and that the House concur with those estimates and that an appropriation bill to be based thereon be introduced without delay. I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I’m not sure if I should thank the Minister or not, but I appreciate the answer. I am still struggling to understand. I haven’t yet heard what has changed that requires us to spend more money. We had a contract and there was a price attached to that contract. In the terms of the contract, in the parameters of the project, what has changed that now requires us to spend 10 million more dollars? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I have a couple of questions with regard to the numbers on this page. Under community services, the family violence funding has increased about $400,000. Could I get an explanation of where that funding will be used? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. Mr. Aumond.
