Okay. Next we have wildlife, active positions, information item on page 105. Any questions, committee? Are we agreed?

Agreed, thank you. That brings up back to page 103, wildlife operations expenditure summary, activity total, $14,957,000. Are we agreed?

Agreed, thank you, committee. That brings us to page 106. Lease commitments, information item, any questions on page 106? Are we agreed?

Agreed. That brings us to page 107. Environment fund, information item, any questions? Mr. O'Reilly?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. A couple questions here. There's a fairly significant reduction in expenses called other expenses, and I'm just wondering if the department can -- or at least from the revised estimates for 2015-16. So just wondering if someone can explain what happened here? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Ms. Craig.

Thank you, Ms. Craig. Any further questions, Mr. O'Reilly?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I have one other question. For the Electronics Recycling Program, people pay a fee when they purchase an item, and the fee is basically used to try to pay for the recycling of that item when it's finished. With beverage container, there's a part of the deposit you pay that’s a fee to help cover the recycling cost, but there's also a deposit that you get back that’s sort of an incentive then for people that bring their beverage containers into a depot and get the refund for it. So a colleague asked me to ask about the potential of having a deposit on electronics, so that when people take a TV back or something then they would get a deposit back. Then there'd be an incentive for people to take computers, mice back to the depot to get the material recycling and get their deposit back. I understand that we want to have our fees comparable to what they are in Alberta, because we don’t want to create an incentive for people to go down south to shop, but has the department considered a refundable deposit for electronics as part of that recycling program? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Ms. Kelly.

Thank you, Ms. Kelly. Anything further, Mr. O'Reilly?

No. Thanks, Mr. Chair. Other than to say this is a great program. I was involved with it for a decade and really appreciate the work of the department and the staff on this one, so thanks.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Committee, any further questions on page 107? Environment fund, information item. Are we agreed?

Agreed, thank you. That brings us to page 108. Fur marketing service revolving fund, information item, any questions? Agreed?

Agreed, thank you, committee. That brings us to page 109. Work performed on behalf of others, information item, any questions? Mr. O'Reilly?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There's a whole variety of changes here between 2015-16 and 2016-17 for a number of these programs. I don’t want to drag us through them all, but I noticed that in the Health and Social Services budget, they actually had a helpful line at the end of similar sort of programs where they said this was the end of a funding arrangement or here was the date that this arrangement ended. That I think would probably pre-empt a guy like me from asking all sorts of questions. So I'm trying to be helpful here. I even got a thumbs up from the Minister of Finance. I don’t think that's ever happened before in this House.

---Laughter

So I'm just trying to be helpful and suggesting that maybe that extra level of detail here might be more helpful in the future, but -- yeah. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. Schumann.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We will provide that for this particular page even and we'll consider doing that in the next one too, so thank you.
