Speaker: SOME HON. MEMBERS

Agreed.

Thank you, committee. We have one information item in this department, work performed on behalf of others. Comments or questions? It can be found on pages 302 and 303. Ms. Green.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I note that there is a family liaison unit. I heard about it during the hearings that were held here by the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. I note that this agreement is to end in 2019. Of course, today we just learned that the inquiry has asked for a two-year extension. If the federal government grants the extension, will the territorial government keep this unit in place? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister.

Yes, I would expect we would do so. I would have to confirm with my confreres about that additional cost, but I would expect we will.

Thank you. Would the Minister like to add something? Minister.

Yes, I would like to add. Apparently, it's fully funded by the federal government. I guess, if they provide the money, we will accept it. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister. Ms. Green.

Thank you for that response. I have nothing further.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Can committee please turn back to page 273. This is the departmental total. Does committee have any final questions? We have a revenue summary on page 274. There's an organizational chart, accounting structure charts. Seeing nothing from committee, Justice, total department, $126,093,000. Does committee agree?

Speaker: SOME HON. MEMBERS

Agreed.

Thank you, committee. Does committee agree that this concludes our consideration of the Department of Justice?

Speaker: SOME HON. MEMBERS
