Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the solid answer from the Minister. I think that clarified this area very well.
Speaking about the HR capacity, so, if we could call them human resource capacity dollars, and I appreciate the emphasis. It is not entailed for purchases of trucks, but when we refer to training and technical expertise, are there any types of provisos that directly or indirectly reference it? For example, training must be northbound. Do we engage northern consultants to train our people?
Do we engage, for example, these human resource dollars that could be capacity building dollars, say, you have to use these dollars to go to Aurora College to learn how to be a carpenter to be ready for this project? Do we build capacity dollars into this by saying you're a tax-based community?
You are going to be presenting in front of Imperial Oil. We know they have a lot of muscle, but we want to give you some money. You have been approved in the application process, obviously, but we want to give you some money, and we want to see you access the legal expertise here in the Northwest Territories. I guess, really, the question out of all of this to tie it together is, how are we directing this money to be spent?
I am curious, are we focussing it in on every dollar we give you has to come with a proviso that you engage on the local level as well as the territorial level, those types of expertise? I can appreciate that not every law firm, for example, in the Northwest Territories may have the experience to deal with, for example, Imperial Oil. I can feel confident that they may have the ability to work in association. I want to make sure that we're not paying for a service that could be offered up here that they are purchasing, say, out of Calgary. With that being said, there is certain expertise that you just can't shop around locally and get. That is a fair statement that needs to be reaffirmed. How are we directing our capacity dollars in the essence of spending North as well as specific to HR and training and maybe getting legal fees or those types of consultant expertise? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
