Thank you. Mr. Vanthuyne.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That would be good if we could find another use for it. Is there a way in which the department is reaching out to folks, maybe some stakeholders or what have you, as it relates to the potential for what use we might be able to get out of that building? It is obviously a building that is architecturally designed so would be a great working space for a variety of groups. Is it potentially going to be just more government office space, not necessarily a bad thing? It may be an opportunity for an NGO or a non-profit of some kind. Is there any kind of consideration to who or how we might have a new tenant in that asset? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The first thing after we can figure out that this building is usable and what is going to be left of it, we would probably do a departmental search first and see if there is any use with any of the departments in the Government of the Northwest Territories. We would have to figure out what the incremental costs would be subject to them moving into there.

This is still early days. I think we are going to have to figure out if this building is still going to be standing at the end of the day before can go down that path. At some point, if this building is deemed usable, we will keep Members abreast of what is going on with this building. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Mr. Vanthuyne.

Thank you. I guess lastly: what kind of resources are we going to put towards the short-term remedial work? When can Members expect to see information with regard to what kind of resources might be put towards it? In addition, what would be the long-term resources required? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Mr. Guy.

Thank you, Mr. Guy. Mr. Vanthuyne.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Can we just ask the Minister to make a commitment to get that information to us, not today, but as appropriate? When the time comes that the department has assimilated all that information, can they share it with committee at the appropriate time? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Vanthuyne. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. When it is appropriate, we will share that information with the Members. Thank you.

Nothing further from Mr. Vanthuyne. Infrastructure, asset management, operations expenditure summary, activity total $73,631,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, committee. Please continue to corporate management; it begins on page 244. Corporate management. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the Minister, on the Community Access Program, if the Minister could give me an indication if this program was fully utilized in 2017-2018. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes. The Community Access Program is fully subscribed. If the communities get all the work done and the receipts and stuff in, that is a different story. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you. They have up until the end of this year to get the receipts in for payment. I take it all the applications up to the full amount were approved, and now they are just waiting for the invoicing portion of it, I take it? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Minister.

That is correct, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I wonder if the Minister could advise me, if the subscribing of the budget from the communities exceeds the money that is in the budget, if the department or the Minister would be willing to continue to take in applications for the program and fund it internally from elsewhere in the budget. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
