Thank you, Mr. Chair. In the budget line we see multisport games funding going from $500 to $250,000. Can the Minister explain this cut? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank Mr. Hagen. You didn't answer my question before, but you did now because basically we were talking about tank farms and I was actually trying to find out about the agricultural land, so I thank you very much for that clarification. My challenge is that I have individuals who are wishing to develop greenhouses within my riding. They keep on coming back to it. When the department works with these people, do they actually walk them through the process of what they have to do in this area? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I thank Mr. Aumond for that answer. At this point in time, I think I'm satisfied with the questions I've been able to get answered here today, so that will be the end of it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In regard to this, how does the department go out and do the assessment on these cabins? How are they able to do this? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Mr. Hagen for that answer. Just to clarify, it is not the Department of Lands that puts the security to it. It is another agency. Is that correct? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I appreciate the Minister's answer. I appreciate them looking at this, and I think that will help all the residents. In regard to the GSOs and getting close to capacity, has the department developed a plan as to when we're going to be able to fill these positions? I know the Premier talked about it being based on the fact that it's funding-related and if there's money available. Can the department look at developing a plan so that we know when we can see these positions filled, so all communities have GSOs, and small communities have GSOs in them? Thank you, Mr. Chair...

Thank you. I thank the Premier for that. I think it is getting a little bit more clear for me now. Just to clarify, if it is in unsettled land claims areas, presently we are not taxing these people in traditional cabins. Is that correct? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm assuming this is where, the agricultural lands, this is the area we talk about them? So in my reply to the budget, there were some concerns that I heard from a number of residents in regard to leases and the cost to actually using these leases and that. Can the Minister tell us if agricultural lands have a different equity that they have to pay to get this, or is it similar to a tank farm? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I thank the Premier for that answer. Just going on to another line item, single window service centres. I know we have 21 here, and in my speech to the budget I was hoping to see if the government is willing to increase that number this fiscal year. I don't see it in the budget here presently, but is it something that the department is looking at increasing? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will try this another way: can the department get the lawyer to come in and talk to committee in camera on this issue? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
