Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am here to present Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 4, 2013-2014. This document provides for an increase of $3.553 million for capital investment expenditures in the 2013-2014 fiscal year.
The more significant items in this supplementary estimate include:
1. $2.75 million for the Department of Public
Works and Services to advance funding from 2014-15 for the early completion of the Yellowknife General Purpose Office Building.
2. $453,000 for the implementation of a new
Mineral Information Tenure System to support the administration of the NWT Mining Regulations as part of the transfer of responsibilities associated with devolution. The net impact on government operations is nil as these costs will be offset with funding received from the federal government.
I am prepared to review the details of the supplementary estimates document.
