Thank you to the Minister for that. Collection agency licences. How many collection agencies are there here in the Northwest Territories and what’s the licence fee based on? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Something I didn’t get an answer on and I was sort of looking for some detail – yes, I can go to the website to find out who sits there, assuming it’s current – what are voting rights when the deputy minister was speaking to that? Maybe if you could help explain what those privileges do from a departmental point of view.

Under fire prevention section to do community visits on the five regions, what type of travel budget is associated with this?

Thank you, Madam Chair. It’s my pleasure to offer some insightful thoughts on this particular page, especially for those who called for detail, and detail I will provide. The issue I’ve raised here is about the question about on-line updates where people can apply for certain services, obviously with fees. This is an issue I brought to the House some time ago and I’m wondering about a particular update, if it’s feasible and the department judges it worthy for response. Thank you.

Can the Minister elaborate what enhance the existing programs means? Maybe he can list the youth initiative programming that we offer under our strategic plan. Thank you.

Thank you. In the stewardship of good taxpayer spending, will the Minister commit to this House that the GNWT will not be buying any construction equipment for any particular proponent who ends up with this contract if it does proceed, and there will be no giving away any GNWT assets we purchase through our government, and we will not be supporting a contract that buys the equipment so they get it for free? Thank you.

Thank you. A similar question to vendor direct sellers licence. Can the Minister explain exactly what that line is deriving and the last time that fee structure has been reviewed? Thank you.

Thank you. Under Arctic Energy Alliance under contribution funding, I think the Minister had mentioned that Deputy Minister Williams here sits as vice-chair. What’s the role of MACA on the particular board? I don’t want to say the Arctic Energy Alliance is an NGO, but they are sort of akin to one. If government is all on the board or assaulted the board with government reps all through it, where is the role of the public and the public help guiding it? I’m just trying to understand how government funds it, but lets it go, but manages it, but it’s independent. So I’m trying to get a sense of...

What types of requirements or parameters are put on timely visits? There must be some constraints as to when something is filed and needs to be reviewed in person. What type of travel requirements or constraints around the code causes the travel or necessity to get out to site visits?

If it’s not the GNWT’s responsibility, why are we dedicating $60,000 to a project that almost sounds fruitless? Perhaps at the same time, can the Minister provide a financial scale of what type of funding needs to be done for that type of project? Thank you.
