Thank you, committee. We have two clauses left. Clause 51.

Thank you, committee. Clause 52.

Thank you, committee. Committee, to the bill as a whole. Does committee agree that Bill 13, Marriage Act, is now ready for third reading?

Thank you, committee. Bill 13 is now ready for third reading. Does committee agree that this concludes our consideration of Bill 13, Marriage Act?

Thank you, Committee. Thank you, Minister, and thank you to your witnesses. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses from the Chamber.

Committee, we have agreed to consider Tabled Document 315-18(2), Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Estimates) No. 3, 2016-2017 next. Does the Minister of Finance have any opening remarks? Minister McLeod.

Yes, I do, Mr. Chair. I am here to present Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures) No. 3, 2016- 2017. This document provides for an increase of $7.6 million to the 2016-2017 infrastructure expenditures budget. The major items in these Supplementary Estimates include:

1. $5.2 million for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources for the shortfall in the Air Tractor Fleet project due to the significant decline in the Canadian dollar resulting from declining oil prices in 2016.

2. $2.6 million for the Department of Transportation for the costs associated with the preparatory and environmental assessment work for the Tlicho All Season Road project. This expenditure is partially offset by revenue from the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency.

That concludes my opening remarks. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Do you have witnesses you wish to bring into the House?

Yes, I do, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, to my right I have Mr. David Stewart, the deputy minister of the Department of Finance. To my left, I have Mr. Sandy Kalgutkar who is the deputy secretary to the Financial Management Board. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Committee, I'll give you a moment to find your copies of the supplementary estimates. Do we have general comments on the supplementary estimates? Seeing none, we will begin considering the document. It begins on page 6. Committee, just to make sure everyone has their documents. Does committee agree that we begin considering the detail on page 6?

Thank you, committee. Page 6, Health and Social Services, operations expenditures summary, administrative and support services. Do we have comments or questions on this page? Seeing none, I will call it. Health and Social Services, operations expenditure. Mr. Testart.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just wanted to clarify the establishment of the NWT Organ and Tissue Donation Registry. When is the expected go-live date of that project now that we are securing funding for it?

Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the expected start-up date is 2017. As for the exact time, I'd have to maybe confirm that and share that with Members, but it is 2017. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Testart.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My understanding, this was something that was approved by a previous -- not approved, but a lot of work went into this in the 17th Assembly and I wonder if there is any detail as to why the funding originally allocated to it from the midwifery program was not spent to establish it in the 17th Assembly. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister, how would you like to answer this question?
