Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have asked the consultant to actually look at all options. Air rescue might be an option if it's quite a ways away, but, if it's only a kilometer or two from a centre then, of course, that wouldn't make sense; it wouldn't be as cost-effective. So we've asked for all options, and we are looking forward to that report when it's finished. I would like to say that I'm just thinking that you can't determine where an accident is going to happen, so I think it would be having to look at all of the different methods instead of just one versus the other. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have nothing further in this section.

Thank you. Any further questions, committee? If not, I will call the page. Municipal and Community Affairs, public safety, operations expenditure summary, $2,132,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you. That brings us to page 351. Regional operations, operations expenditure summary, $88,999,000. Does committee agree?

Agreed. Thank you. Next, we have School of Community Government, operations expenditure summary, $2,860,000. Does committee agree? Mr. Beaulieu.

Mr. Chairman, I apologize. I had one question on the previous section.

Okay. Just give us a second. We may need a motion to go back. Mr. Beaulieu.

Mr. Chairman, perhaps I could ask the question at the last section as a general comment and then we could proceed.

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Okay, that brings us back to page 356, School of Community Government, operations expenditure summary, $2,860,000. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I am not sure this is the right place, but, obviously, our government is going to have to respond to cannabis legalization and make sure that, community governments, there is a commitment to ensure that they have the authority to add on additional restrictions. They are also going to need some support in deciding how they might like to exercise that authority and have available information to them. Is this the sort of place where that support would be provided is through something like the School of Community Government, or where would it occur within the MACA budget? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It does not really fit in here, but I am okay answering it. We are working closely with the departments, across departments, the Department of Justice, Health and Social Services, Workers' Safety Compensation Commission, and Municipal and Community Affairs. Our governance team is actually on this. We are also working with the Northwest Territories Association of Communities because there may be some bylaws that will have to be developed for communities, especially if they are looking at prohibiting marijuana in their communities. So we are on top of it. We are doing our best to make sure that communities get the support that they need. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that, and, of course, our side of the House is going to be very interested to know what those costs are going to be and how they are rolled up across all of the departments, not just yours. So that is just a heads-up to say that there are maybe some revenue implications from cannabis legalization, but there are also going to be some costs to our government and that that implementation and roll-out is going to be really essential when it comes time to look at the bill and understand how that process is going to roll out. So I encourage your department to engage with the others and develop that implementation plan and that it is costed and so on. I do not need a response, but that is the heads-up. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Cochrane.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Department of Municipal and Community Affairs is all about providing support and services to the communities, so we are aware that there may be some difficulties with communities. One of them may be cost factors, so we are looking at that, and we are trying to make sure that we provide the proper support -- it is not an option -- so that communities can actually implement this in the most comprehensive way possible. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Any further questions on School of Community Government? Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I seek unanimous consent to return to the regional operations section on page 352.

---Unanimous consent granted

Go ahead, Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. After all this, I hope I have come back to the right section. Mr. Chairman, earlier in our deliberations with the Department of Lands, I had asked questions about taxation of cabins. The Minister had indicated that the Lands officers did the enforcement; MACA does the taxing. I would like to ask basically a similar question, is that: is there any difference between the taxing of cabins between the treaty people, the Metis, and the non-Aboriginal people who have cabins in the bush for harvesting? Thank you.
