Thank you, Mr. Minister. The same question in regards to the Tlicho implementation funding explaining the numbers why we go from 111 to 535 and then down to this year's main estimates of $78,000. As well as, if the Minister has any comment on the definition where it speaks, if I may pick it up in the middle of the Tlicho Agreement, may be as early as April 2005. It looks like this sort of definition is out of date. Would they look at updating it? Thank you.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Member is correct; we need to update that date. The extra money that's in the Tlicho implementation funding, there's $424,000 included in '05-06 as a carryover from the previous year.

Thank you. In part of that little description/definition the last sentence says the GNWT must complete prior, these activities must be complete prior to the agreement. Why are we saying this sort of after the fact? This is sort of the definition that says in advance of the agreements we have to spend this type of money. The agreement came into effect last year in August. So again, the definition is probably the problem here. So maybe if the Minister could provide some clarification why we're still spending $70,000 in this area if this is money to be for the vamping up of the effective date. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, yes, there was a requirement as part of this agreement that we had a number of things that we had to do before the effective date -- not this effective date that's on here, but 2005 -- and those things were done. There are a number of things that we still are working on that we will have to do in the next little while, but those don't have a deadline. So not all the money had a deadline attached to it. The ones that required us to have the work done as part of the pre-implementation were completed.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Was this carryover money that's being stated here and it is flow-through money from the federal government? Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Chairman. Looking at search and rescue programs and what looks like...We're not going to get any flow-through money for search and rescue. There was an agreement with National Search and Rescue Secretariat for at least the last two years, Mr. Chairman. We got $52,000 last year and this current year $65,000, but there's nothing on the boards for the coming fiscal year. What will be the impact on our search and rescue capacity if our friends at the national secretariat aren't going to be funding this anymore, Mr. Chairman?

Mr. Chairman, the reason there isn't a number at this time as part of this budget is because we haven't had an opportunity to sign an agreement. This money is application-based that we have to apply for every year, and we have no commitment from the federal government at this point. However, we remain very positive that we will receive some money this year. However, having said that, this really has no effect on search and rescue operations. This budget line is more towards the planning, more towards the education on search and rescue activities and workshops and things of that nature....(inaudible)...we don't have confirmation that we have it.

If committee's agreed, we'll go back to page 4-7 and that is the department summary, operations expenditure summary, $110.012 million. Committee agreed?
