I am here to present Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 1, 2014-2015. This document outlines an increase of $17.891 million in
operations expenditures for the 2014-2015 fiscal year.
The more significant items included in the supplementary estimates are:
1. $10.9 million for the Department of Executive for
costs associated with one-time devolution implementation activities. These costs are offset by an equivalent lapse of Government of Canada funding in 2013-14.
2. $2.7 million for the Department of Public Works
and Services to complete the demolition of the Sir Alexander Mackenzie School in Inuvik. These costs are offset by an equivalent lapse of funding in 2013-14.
3. A total of $1.9 million for departments for the
provision of French language communications and services.
4. $1 million for the Department of Lands to
establish the liabilities and financial assurances division to assess and manage the securities associated with required closure and reclamation activities. These costs will be funded from the devolution supplementary reserve of $9 million.
I am prepared to review the details of the supplementary estimates document. Thank you, Madam Chair.
