Mr. Chair, on Community Harvesters Assistance Program, I am not sure that there is any...There is not a matching requirement, I suppose. There is the potential that local wildlife committees could be matching that money, but we don't think so. There is on western, though, that is the requirement that $15 million in money, most of it has been expended now over the last probably 10 years I am going to say. There is a requirement for matching funds under that program. Most of that, as I say, has been expended. In terms of local wildlife committees, the $258,000 goes to all regions. So does the CHAP money of $473,000 go to all the regions? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, colleagues. Just various contributions to economic development issues, the revised estimate last year was $250,000 and now we kind of just don't even have it in the main estimates. Can the Minister maybe just give me some clarification on what happened with these contributions?

Mr. Chair, this was only one contribution. It was for an isolated project. It was a contribution toward establishing broadband Internet access to communities without that service in the NWT. It was a one-time-only $250,000 contribution. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a question for the Minister on the positions into Yellowknife headquarters. I notice there is an increase of eight positions. Everyone else has stayed the same. That was my point before. There were too many positions going into headquarters. I would like to ask the Minister about these eight positions and if he can give us an idea of what they are. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, it is just a function of how we account for positions when we moved the Dev Corp positions into the BDIC. They didn't used to be reflected in here. They were reflected separately, so those Dev Corp positions, those eight headquarters positions are now shown here in Yellowknife, but they are not positions. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I guess I have a similar question in the Tlicho riding. As far as I know, there has always been one. We have had BDOs in the communities. Does it serve in four communities, one position to serve all the communities, especially with the new Tlicho Government. Just looking at the other regions, they all have a minimum of four and up. I was just wondering if there is going to be an increase in that area, or is it just going to stay the same?

Mr. Chair, this reflects the Behchoko business development officer position but also, in the region, we have a full-time position in Gameti, a half-time position in Wekweeti and a position, as well, in Whati. This was achieved through the community transfer initiative. It isn't reflected here in our staffing, but there are some communities that have taken the role themselves and we provide the funding.
