Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Standing Committee on Economic Development and Infrastructure commented to the government that they recommended that where the department’s mandate is related to supporting the collective ability of the NWT to create political stability and certainty, a balance of encouraging investments, economic development and environmental sustainability is both sought and expressed in departmental documents. What’s new in those three items, investments, economic development and environmental sustainability, is, of
course, the environmental sustainability clause. The department agreed that ensuring environmental sustainability should be included in the negotiating mandates and the department will incorporate an environmental sustainability aspect into the comprehensive mandate review project.
I’m wondering where this is brought in, if it’s under corporate management, if this comprehensive mandate review project is bringing this in as the department indicated, and what the cost of that project is and is it represented here in one of these line items. Thank you.
