Thank you. Onto the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs, operations expenditures, not previously authorized, directorate, $58,000.

Community operations, $35.882 million.

Lands administration, $297,000. Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Madam Chair. With the information provided in the bill, it is suggested here that $297,000 be allocated to provide funding for the continuation of land development projects funded by infrastructure contributions. An offsetting amount was lapsed from last year for $47,000. The area I wanted to ask about, Madam Chair, was providing funding to complete the remediation plan for the common areas of the Con and Rycon trailer courts. The detail provided says, "The remediation costs will be recovered from the revenues received from the land leases entered into with the residents of the trailer courts." The amount requested, Madam Chair, is $250,000. We were advised that the total cost of reclamation and remediation for the Con and Rycon trailer courts was somewhere in the neighbourhood of $900,000, Madam Chair. The aspect I wanted to inquire about was whether or not or just how, as the detail suggests here, the remediation costs will be covered from the revenues received from land uses.

When the GNWT leases land, Madam Chair, does the revenue go towards specific projects or purposes as suggested in the bill, or does it go into general revenue? It's a bit of a process or procedure technical question, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the process is the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs was tasked with dealing with the land remediation out at the Con and Rycon trailer court area. One of the reasons why it was proceeded with is it was based on the initial plan that there was going to be a recovery to that. This is the area on the land that is multiple use or not specifically on each property. Each property owner would have to take care of their own. This would deal with other common areas within those areas. It was established that there would be a recovery to this. That was approved. The money and leases that would come to the government would then go into general revenue.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Braden.

So there is no direct application, or the leaseholders here aren't being assessed a certain portion of these remediation costs over time. A lease fee structure has been determined. That money goes into general revenue and that department gets what it needs from general revenue to fix the job here. What I am trying to determine here, Madam Chair, is are the people who are the tenants on these leases being charged directly or indirectly for the cost of remediation as opposed to a standard lease which has a standard fee structure and a regular way of handling it, Madam Chair?

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Madam Chair. In this case, the leases that are there would incorporate the cost for this work that's been done and we've approved the money upfront so they can get the work completed. As it's recovered, it would go back into the general revenues. So in a sense, those who have leases in that area would pay additional cost tied to their leases. So the leases would be renewed and the term of the leases would incorporate the remediation that has been done. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Braden.

That's all. Thanks, Madam Chair.
