That’s all the questions I have, and I appreciate Mr. Guy’s comments there. I understand that this is not the mandate of this department. They’re providing that service in the absence of proper responsibility by other parts of government. I appreciate that service. I know our communities do too. I’ll be working with the Minister of MACA to see what we can do to take that off your hands. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. We’ll go to the Member for Frame Lake, Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just have a couple of questions here. The Minister mentioned that some of the increase in this budget is because we’ve added new facilities to our total numbers of facilities, and that the O and M operational costs of these facilities are increasing the bottom line for the budget. I wondered if the Minister could advise which buildings he’s referencing when he says that we’ve added buildings to our stable of facilities. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. For some of the specifics on that and the actual costs and the individual numbers, it’s best to go to Mr. Lewis, so I’d like to pass it on to Mr. Lewis.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Mr. Lewis.

Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is a big list, so rather than reading the whole thing out, we can commit to providing that to the Member. But we’ll go back to Steve just to give us some of the finances around that. But as far as the list, I just want to check if the Member’s okay if we provide that later.

Mr. Lewis.

Minister Abernethy, before we have you answer again, if we have commitment to provide that detailed information to the Member. Any further update, Mr. Abernethy?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Originally I committed to providing the list of the infrastructure, but we can actually provide the costs, as well, and make it a little bit easier for you.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Ms. Bisaro.

Thanks, Mr. Chair, and thanks to the Minister and his staff. I’m okay with the costs that have been outlined in general. I was just wondering which buildings, particularly the new school in Inuvik, and Mr. Lewis has advised that that’s included in this budget, so that’s a good thing. I don’t need that list. Maybe, Mr. Chair, you can confirm whether or not other Members wish to see that list, but I’m okay without receiving more information at this point.

I did want to ask a question, though. The description of asset management talks about inspection services. I know that it is certainly something that we do as a government, but my impression is that we don’t do very much and that inspection services in general in the Northwest Territories by communities and/or by the government is pretty minimal. Could I get a bit of a description of the extent of the inspection services that the department provides? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister Abernethy.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. By legislation we’re responsible, as a government, to provide inspections on certain types of things like electrical, elevators, boilers, pressure vessels and gas safety. But for a little bit more detail, I’d like to go to Deputy Minister Guy.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Mr. Guy.

Thank you, Mr. Guy. Ms. Bisaro.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Thanks for the information to the department. So I guess I’m just trying to understand whether or not the department covers every construction in every community in the NWT. So if somebody in Colville Lake is doing some addition to their house and they’re adding on electrical, do we send an inspector there to look at that addition and to make sure that the electrical has been properly installed?

The other question I have relative to this is if we do not, what kind of liability are we taking on? Thank you.

To the question of liability, Mr. Chair.
