Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, my understanding is that there was some issue with the design and the way it was constructed. I think we're currently working with the architect now and seeing if there's a way we can salvage what is there and, if not, it may have to come down and do another one. But it's a little premature; we have to work with the architect and also the contractor. I had the opportunity to have a look at it while I was in Fort Simpson and I got a little bit of background on it, so we're wanting to ensure that we have a safe operating environment for wildlife officers that are in Fort Simpson so they don't get hurt. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Thompson, do you have further questions?

No. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. So wildlife, infrastructure investments, $1,384,000. Does committee agree?

If we could move back to page 14, Environment and Natural Resources, total capital estimate, $3,439,000. Does committee agree?

I'd like to thank the Minister and his witnesses. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses from the Chamber. Next, we have agreed to discuss the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment. Would the Minister like to bring any witnesses into the Chamber?

Yes, I would, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses into the Chamber. Minister, would you please introduce your witnesses to committee?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Ladies first. On my left is director of Finance, Julie Mujcin and on my right is deputy minister Tom Jensen.

Thank you, Minister. It's another deputy minister's first appearance in front of committee, so I'd like to welcome Mr. Jensen. The department begins on page 37, we will defer the departmental total until we discuss the detail. Beginning on page 39 with a breakout on pages 40 through 42. So I'll give committee a minute to look at those pages, formulate comments or questions if they have any. I see no comments or questions from committee, I'll give them another moment though. Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It will be a similar question that I asked the Lands Minister, but with the parks officer patrol maintenance vehicle, will the maintenance be done regionally, i.e. in the Community of Fort Simpson or will it be done outside the community? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Just to remind everyone, we are on pages 39 through 42. Minister Schumann.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As previously stated, all warranty work and stuff would be done out of the dealership, but maintenance could be routinely done out of the Fort Simpson community I guess. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for his answer. So warranty is done by the dealership. Just to clarify, it cannot be done by the companies in the Community of Fort Simpson? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister.

I couldn't comment on the warranty agreements because depending on when it goes out to tender, if it's a General Motors product, Ford or a Dodge they would have to make arrangements with the dealer in Fort Simpson to carry on warranty work. So it's hard to say how that would roll out. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Schumann. I see nothing further from Mr. Thompson. Mr. Nadli.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, my question pertains to tourism and it lists, much to my delight, a lot of improvements to territorial parks in the riding I serve, Deh Cho. I just wanted to understand, particularly for Fort Providence and Kakisa, whether the reporting and relationship is either from the Fort Simpson District Office or the Hay River District Office. If the Minister could maybe clarify that for me? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The reporting for the Fort Providence Territorial Park is done through the Hay River Regional Office. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Nadli.
