It would be whatever our capital spending has taken place. Highway No. 3, Highway No. 4, just to name a couple. We can get the list for the Member if he likes. Thank you.
Yes, I will take the Minister up on his offering and hopefully he may be able to provide that to all the Members here.
When you see a shift like that in terms of amortization numbers, it is usually a large amount of depreciative assets and having that information definitely helps the Members here understand the calculations that are being used. Thank you, Madam Chair.
I think once we get the projects out there, we can make that correlation on the increased amortization that you see and the number of capital projects that the department has been involved in over the last little while here. We can make that clear. Thank you.
Thank you for that commitment. Next on the list is Mr. Bromley.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I want to follow up on some discussion about vehicle registration, an issue that my constituents and many others in the Northwest Territories have raised from time to time when there are people like me who have been fined twice for their vehicles not being registered. In both cases, I was returning from months away. People are not getting notices. It is the same sort of thing in our health care system where people are missing appointments and it is costing the system, obviously, as well. I did have a constituent that sent an example of a digital mechanism, no PYs involved, to actually make this automatic. I am wondering if perhaps the Minister has considered that sort of thing as a way to help out our residents and those feebleminded such as myself to register their vehicles in a timely way. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Ramsay.
If it makes the Member feel any better, it has happened to me as well. It happens. I think reminders are certainly a good thing. Under the new motor vehicle information system that we have, reminders are a part of that system. We are looking at utilizing that. With driver’s licence, it is a letter. It is every five years, but with registrations, if we can get a reminder out there through the MBIS to folks, that would be good.
At the end of the day, the onus is on the driver of the vehicle to know when your registration has expired. That is where the buck stops, but we will do our best to provide reminders for the public through the new MBIS.
Thanks for the comments from the Minister. I feel like he and I have been obviously contributing strongly to the system and perhaps helping out with the costs here and perhaps we can get that service going. I appreciate the Minister’s interest in doing so. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Bromley. I think that was a comment. Mr. Menicoche.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I have several O and M questions that I just wanted to note. Given the time, I move that we report progress.
