Bill 17, An Act to Amend the Territorial Hospital Insurance Services Act has had first reading. First reading of bills. Thank you. Item 18, second reading of bills. Second reading of bills. Item 19, consideration in committee of the whole of bills and other matters. We are considering Minister's Statement 77-13(4), the Northern Employment Strategy, with Mrs. Groenewegen in the chair.

Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. I have the numbers here, and of course, I stand to be corrected, but for example, on the Canada/NWT infrastructure fund in Inuvik, was it Inuvik specific? The numbers here are $190,839. On the community and parliament development fund for Inuvik, $80,000. There is an investing in people initiative that is by region, rather than by community, because some of them are by community and some by region. In the Inuvik region, for the investing in people fund, it is $200,300. There was about half a million dollars in grant money that was distributed right across the territories. I do not have the break down of that. That would be distributed to regional offices of RWED. There is about an additional $500,000. I think that is it for the Inuvik area, but I could give my colleague a total amount breakdown later on this week. If I could put it in quantitative terms, the Inuvik area, prior to us getting approval for this $16 million, I had $1,729,485. With the leverage, the additional dollars, et cetera in the Inuvik area, it will be $3,496,839. Is that adequate, Madam Chair?

Well, the intention, as I said in my address the other day, is to take a one window approach. If I can just quickly give you some idea how I see it unfolding, for example we are going to put $3 million into the investment, the business development fund. That is an existing program, run by RWED so that would give them additional dollars et cetera. Now, that is not for Inuvik. That is the total amount of money going in there. Community futures, in Inuvik for example there is no requirement at this time for additional influx of money. We have recognized that because they still have some lending money out there, but we are going to put new community futures into the Sahtu and into some other areas. The money would go directly to community and regional organizations.

The Investing in Canada GNWT Infrastructure Fund, which is a continuation of the existing fund that Mr. Dent's department is responsible for, we are going to distribute that by community, I believe. Is that correct, Mr. Dent? So that would be done by community. For example, in the Inuvik area, what was planned there was $345,822, but with the additional monies brought forward, it would be $596,545. Okay? So, it is really a series of existing programs and a couple of new expansions in terms of community futures et cetera.
