Thank you, Madam Chair. I can certainly provide the detail to the Member and to committee. We go back to the original submission in the supplementary appropriation for, as the Member said, I believe it was $800,000 plus dollars, take the Member through the original intent as to what that would be made up of in terms of contributions and staffing and then reconcile that with our year-end actuals as they become year-end actuals as of March 31st.
I think an important thing to keep in mind is that if we hadn't acted on the supplementary and moved forward, we would only be now talking about funding of the initiatives under this office, and wouldn't have been able to make many of the contributions that we've already made. We have had staff who have been in place in Yellowknife waiting to transition to those positions to Hay River. So I don't want to give the Member the impression that nothing's been happening and we're waiting until April 1st until we start moving forward with these initiatives. That, in fact, is false.
There's been a lot of work underway and I think Members who are sitting on the Joint Cabinet/AOC Pipeline Planning Committee would recognize that and would recognize, for instance, the administrative effort it takes to coordinate a meeting like the one we had in Norman Wells and would know that the money we spent on the Inuvik meeting, joint hosting with MACA, was a contribution that came from some of that $820,000. I believe that was a very worthwhile initiative. So I can provide the detail of that initial submission and what the proposed contribution to salary breakdown has been, and then as of March 31st we'll be able to reconcile the actuals and can provide committee that information. Maybe let me ask the Member if that would suffice. Thank you.
