Thank you, Mr. Chair. Under community health programs, if I may question that area, there is a line for sobering centre, Yellowknife, $100,000. I am just wondering if the Minister can provide details on this project to date? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the project is still pending the identification of the site, and confirmation of sustainability. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister. Mr. Testart.
Thank you to the Minister for that answer. What is the nature of this investment? I am sorry if I missed that. We are not talking about building a new building, here? Are we making additional space to an existing asset? What are we approving, here? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister.
Mr. Chair, my understanding is that we are still trying to identify the site that has a building on it, and the $100,000 would more or less go for improvements to the site that is identified, once it is identified. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to point something out. Total department for Health and Social Services, I believe, you called $30,000,000 and it is actually 38. I just want to make sure we get the correction right for Hansard.
Thank you, Minister. Just give me one moment to confer with the clerks. Thank you, Minister. Just on the off-chance that I did make a mistake.
---Laughter
We will check Hansard tomorrow, but I will call the department again since there is a question. If the committee wouldn't mind turning back to page 13, Health and Social Services.

Thank you, committee. On to page 15, the Department of Infrastructure, which continues on to page 16. We will consider pages 15 and 16 together. Do you have comments or questions? Ms. Green.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 10, we authorized an expenditure of $111,000 for a solar array at the Western Arctic Research Institute. This page asks us to approve an additional $200,000 for a photovoltaic system in Inuvik. Could the Minister tell us whether these are complimentary projects or separate projects? What is the status of them? Thank you.
Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, my understanding is they are two separate projects. The second one, the contract is in place and the estimated completion is in June 2017, of which we have another 29 days. I will find out. I know the first one, I believe, was on the Aurora Research Institute. I will find out where the second one is and share that information with the Members. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, committee. On to page 17, Department of Justice. Ms. Green, comments on the Department of Justice.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, under community justice and policing, this is a pilot project, as I understand, with funding to expire at the end of this fiscal year. Can the Minister explain why there was a lapse, and does he anticipate a lapse at the end of this fiscal year? Thank you.
Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, on this particular one, the project was tendered. However, due to an error in a tender document award, a contract was delayed until after April 1, 2017, and we don't anticipate a lapse after this fiscal year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister. Nothing further from Ms. Green. Mr. Testart.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Under the corrections line, there is North Slave Correctional Centre security retrofit. Here in Yellowknife, $55,000. I just would like to confirm if that retrofit is an appropriation allocated to correct the security flaws identified after the escape in the facility. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister.
Yes, it is. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister. Mr. Testart.
Thank you, and thank you for that clarification from the Minister. I will move on to asking about the perimeter fence. Again, this seems to be funding that is allocated to address the security concerns that emerged after that escape. Is that correct for this $414,000 fencing project? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Testart. The Minister has indicated that Mr. Stewart will field this one. Mr. Stewart.
