Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I am here to present Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 1, 2018-2019. This document provides for an increase of $1.1 million to the operations budget. These supplementary estimates include:

• $200,000 for funding for the NWT Arts Council;

• $300,000 to establish two new government service officer positions in Jean Marie River and Sambaa K'e; and

• $578,000 to establish two new land specialist positions to address equity lease issues over the next three years.

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