Thank you, Mr. Chair. The change in figure that has been asked about represents a few different changes that have taken place within the unit.

The first one the Minister referenced was the creation of a senior policy position. We have used internal resources to create that position, largely to address concerns raised through the Office of the Auditor General related to fire protection services. Our response to this is to create a position that is working very closely with community governments on fire protection plans and the implementation of the Fire Protection Strategy for the Northwest Territories.

The creation of this position also allows for the department to look at succession planning for things like our Office of the Fire Marshal, which are obviously critical functions to the department. Ensuring that we have succession planning in that area is vital to our operations.

The majority of the rest of the changes represent changes that we have made subsequent to the business plan related to the 911 program. At the time when we appeared before committee related to the 911 program, we had envisioned the potential to be able to implement in the 2018-2019 fiscal year, including bringing on resource revenue or revenue related to the 911 program. As we continued to investigate the implementation of the 911 program, and as we explained during the business planning process, it became clear that we had to look at a different implementation model.

Subsequent to that time, our department has undertaken that research to complete the implementation model, and we did return to the Financial Management Board to readjust our funding allocation related to the 911 program. The net at the end is that we have given up projected revenues for the 2018-2019, because we won't actually be implementing in 2018-2019. The remainder, in total, is about $606,000 to support the implementation of 911, which is spread amongst a few categories under program detail. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
