Sorry, Mr. Chairman. I was wondering if we could return to an item on page 15.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I had some questions on the $86,000 to provide funding for the costs associated with the Government of the Northwest Territories participation in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference. I
would like to ask the Minister for more detail of what comprises the $86,000. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

We budgeted $50,000 for travel, $29,720 for accommodation, $6,170 for per diems, which gave us $85,890 and was rounded up to $86,000.

How many people will be attending on behalf of the Government of the Northwest Territories at the climate change conference in Copenhagen?

We’ll have one of our staff tied to the federal delegation paid for by the federal government and then we will have seven people: Premier Roland, myself, three MLAs and two staff. Thank you.

So, Mr. Chairman, at $50,000 for travel, is most of that airfare or is that for ground travel and everything when they get there? Because seven people at $50,000 for travel, that works out to over $7,000 per person and I don’t think it costs that much to fly to Copenhagen.

I would assume it covers the ground transportation and everybody is going to be travelling economy, so if we don’t spend all the money, then it will be returned unspent. Thank you.

Jane Groenewegen Hay River South
Well, that’s good. Then we should expect to see about half of that money from the travel come back into the budget. So we’ll look forward to that when we see what the returned amount is when they return from the trip, because I think $50,000 is probably a little overestimated on the travel piece. Thank you.

We’re all travelling economy, so we’re going to try to put the taxpayers’ money to the best possible use. Thank you.
