I think that pretty much covers the area I have of concern under general comments. Thank you.

Thank you. So I guess Hansard will ensure they spell it F-O-R.

What communities has the rentals office travelled to in the last fiscal year? Thank you.

I suppose this next question could be asked on the page, but I’ll just sort of speak generally to it, which is the rentals office. Not so much particularly a budget line item, so that’s why I’m going to ask it here. What type of community outreach does the rental office do outside of Yellowknife?

How can this government, if it’s not receiving any benefit for locking into a deal with the Polar Bear Diamond trademark with one company, is it fair to say that maybe we should be looking around to consider marketing this option to a company that wants to cut diamonds here in the Northwest Territories? Thank you.

The Minister is quoted as saying, “This is a significant announcement to get the Polar Bear Diamond out there.”

What type of deal has this government struck by giving away the Polar Bear Diamond logo trademark to this company? How much did the government gain and how long are we locked into that specific deal? Thank you.

Thank you. How long has it been on the operational side of the ledger? In other words, sitting there empty.

Many people will also recognize him from the many walks and journeys he has made around Frame Lake. He really did a great job promoting exercise and active living.

I’m not going to need 10 minutes. I just want to make a point, which is $25,000 a door could be $200,000. I would just see the government sell the unit and then pay for its full repairs and then rent it back in some form or fashion. Anyway, I just wanted to make sure I said that, eight doors times $25,000, $200,000. Who knows what they are going to sell it for or buy it back or pay? I would just hate to see that situation. I would rather just pay to fix the darn thing, house the families and make sure they are up on their own and find a way to pay for it. Come to the Legislature. I would...
