The major items included in the supplementary estimates are:

$330,000 for the Department of Health and Social Services to establish midwifery services in Hay River.
Also included in the supplementary estimates is a transfer of $100,000 from the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to increase funding to the Energy Efficiency Incentive Program.
