Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to follow up on my Member's statement today, and I have some questions for the Minister of Infrastructure. As part of the NWT climate change, have the various departments looked at potentially expanding the use of liquid natural gas, commonly known as LNG, outside the Inuvik source of NWT natural gas? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for the interesting answer. I guess I am just going to go right to it. Is the Government of Northwest Territories getting out of multisport games by cutting this money? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, and I thank Mr. Courtoreille for that answer. I guess my concern, though, is that PUB is being planned to be moved to the Department of Infrastructure, and the Standing Committee on Government Operations has made the recommendation that the NGO stabilization fund actually go back to the Executive. What is the difference between PUB and the stabilization fund? Why isn't that being moved back, as per recommendation from the committee? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In the budget line we see multisport games funding going from $500 to $250,000. Can the Minister explain this cut? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank the Premier for that answer. That is a positive step. It's a two-year process, and I think that is a very good move by the department. I guess my concern is, if we are going to review it, is the funding still going to be able to be there, or are they going to review it and see if they need to increase the funding? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank Mr. Hagen. You didn't answer my question before, but you did now because basically we were talking about tank farms and I was actually trying to find out about the agricultural land, so I thank you very much for that clarification. My challenge is that I have individuals who are wishing to develop greenhouses within my riding. They keep on coming back to it. When the department works with these people, do they actually walk them through the process of what they have to do in this area? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In regard to this, how does the department go out and do the assessment on these cabins? How are they able to do this? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I thank Mr. Aumond for that answer. At this point in time, I think I'm satisfied with the questions I've been able to get answered here today, so that will be the end of it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Mr. Hagen for that answer. Just to clarify, it is not the Department of Lands that puts the security to it. It is another agency. Is that correct? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
