What is the fee structure based on?

Under this activity it’s a bulk number of $470,000. I’m wondering what the actual breakout is between the three activities. Are there multiple activities that may not even be seen under this area? Can I get a breakout as to what the funding contribution goes to? In other words, community association gets what, government administrators get what, et cetera?

That’s fine for now. Thank you.

Mr. Chair, I accept that offer from the Minister. I guess he didn’t mean that I shouldn’t feel sorry for myself because my question wasn’t asked, so I will ask it on this page. What type of application can we involve in getting seniors more active? I suggested it in the opening comments. I was looking for an answer of what type of programming, services we can offer seniors to maybe working with youth. This seems like an area or type of planning, development and research under policy support for the department. We do not offer specific budget line items for seniors in this regard. As I...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Speaking to the risk matrix, if that helps the Minister for a bit of guidance, even though we spent a lot of time last time, would he be willing to publish all that information? As to the potential risks the GNWT and the citizens of the Northwest Territories would be taking on as a risk, would he be willing to publicize all that information on our website long before a final decision is proposed in this House? Thank you.

Thank you to the Minister for that. Collection agency licences. How many collection agencies are there here in the Northwest Territories and what’s the licence fee based on? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Something I didn’t get an answer on and I was sort of looking for some detail – yes, I can go to the website to find out who sits there, assuming it’s current – what are voting rights when the deputy minister was speaking to that? Maybe if you could help explain what those privileges do from a departmental point of view.

Thank you, Madam Chair. It’s my pleasure to offer some insightful thoughts on this particular page, especially for those who called for detail, and detail I will provide. The issue I’ve raised here is about the question about on-line updates where people can apply for certain services, obviously with fees.

Can the Minister elaborate what enhance the existing programs means? Maybe he can list the youth initiative programming that we offer under our strategic plan. Thank you.
