I’m sorry, Mr. Menicoche. From the notes that I was following along with for the budget commitments that Mr. Miltenberger read, I think there were a couple of items that were missing. Could we have agreement that we would allow Mr. Miltenberger to go back to ensure that we do have the full and comprehensive list of changes? Is committee agreed?

Great. Thank you. I think the two that were missing was with respect to ITI. I believe that those were not read out, if I am not mistaken. Was that read out? Okay, then which ones were missing? Mr. Miltenberger, if you could start with respect to the departments and just go through them again. I’m sorry; I thought there were two items missing.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Once again I apologize for double-siding my speech.

With respect to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources:

1. $100,000 to increase funding to the Energy

Efficiency Incentive Program. This increase will be funded through the transfer of $100,000 from the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment.

2. $400,000 to implement a program to replace

electric hot water heaters with fuel-fired hot water heaters in communities that depend on thermal generation for electricity.

---Applause

Order!

For further clarity, with respect to the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment:

1. $600,000 to increase funding identified for the

tourism industry for increased investment in tourism marketing activities.

2. A transfer of $100,000 identified for energy

policy initiatives to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to increase funding to the Energy Efficiency Incentive Program.

With respect to the Department of Health and Social Services:

1. An additional $330,000 to establish midwifery

services in Hay River. The total amount to be

allocated in 2013-2014 for this initiative is $470,000. The remaining $140,000 will be re-profiled funding identified for the territorial midwifery clinical coordinator position.

2. $1.670 million to increase funding for prevention

and promotion activities. The government will consult with the Standing Committee on Social Programs on the allocation of this funding.

I will follow through with these commitments in the Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 1, 2013-2014, which will be introduced into this House within the next few days.

---Applause

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. We will be sure now we have all of that on the record. Mr. Menicoche.
