What type of funding or expertise support do we provide? Do we provide any resources? Do we help write them? Do we help draft them? How complicated are these particular plans? I’m just curious as to why two don’t; 15 need updating, and 16 sound like they’re on track.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Government of the Northwest Territories has proposed a $299 million construction project that we all know is the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway Project. What is the Government of the Northwest Territories proposal on commitment on spending division? In other words, we had a 75/25 plan spoken about before. Is that the same proposal being forwarded to the federal government?

I’d be happy to accept that. It appears we’ve come to the end of the page.

Then what role does MACA actually play other than a contributor of financial resources to the Arctic Energy Alliance? What do they actually contribute to the board? Obviously, other than its physical membership, does the department itself provide any support or mechanisms and, as such, why are they on the board if they’re not providing any strategic advice or policy or direction for initiatives?

The Minister has already promised to provide the enabling documentation, so there’s no sense in asking the question again. Thank you.

Mr. Chair, just for the record, I don’t take issue with the Minister offering to answer my questions. I more so took issue with telling me not to feel sorry for myself because he didn’t answer my questions.

Specific to the issue at hand, what will it take to get policy initiatives that develop opportunities for seniors to be active in their living? The Elders in Motion sounds like an example of it. How do we make it policy? How do we support it? How do we give it a budget? Thank you.

I wasn’t expecting such a detailed answer such as they go in there. Can the Minister maybe elaborate just a little further by explaining what type of partners and relationship they have with the public?

Thank you. Maybe the Minister forgets his role. Quite frankly, the department is in charge of the project, the department is paying for the project. Maybe my next question to the manager of this project is: Who is in charge of the construction of the Inuvik-Tuk highway and who will be responsible for the quality of work?

What is the fee structure based on?

Under this activity it’s a bulk number of $470,000. I’m wondering what the actual breakout is between the three activities. Are there multiple activities that may not even be seen under this area? Can I get a breakout as to what the funding contribution goes to? In other words, community association gets what, government administrators get what, et cetera?
