Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, it was a four-year agreement. The first year was zero. The second year was zero. This year is 1 per cent, and that is reflective, I believe, in this supplemental request for $694,000, and the fourth year is 1 per cent as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I believe in collective bargaining, as I have said before. I support an increase, whether it is for our non-unionized employees, as well as our unionized employees, and I really urge the Minister to get on with negotiations with our main union, the Union of Northern Workers. I have already been on record as supporting a CPI increase on an annual basis, and I think that is an appropriate offer that we should be making to our main union. Now is not the time to, perhaps, discuss that, but I support regular increases to our employees. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the Minister, "to provide funding for the Canada-NWT Workforce Development Agreement" of $3.1 million, is that money that has lapsed and is put back in the framework, or is it a new supplementary increase? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, my understanding is that this is new money. The $3.142 million is here, and over the next number of years, there will be additional investments as well.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. There is a line item here to basically, it looks like, transfer forest management leases from ENR to the Department of Infrastructure. Can I just have a little bit more explanation here? I have read the briefing material that was provided. Are these actually areas that are being harvested for forestry, or is this buildings that are being leased? I just can't figure it out, given the information that we have been provided. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is my understanding this is for buildings, and this is something the government has been doing for some time, trying to consolidate all of our lease payments under Infrastructure so that we can better manage them. These are two leases, one on the Hay River Reserve and one in Fort Smith, that we have leases for that are being moved from ENR's budget into a consolidated budget in Infrastructure. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
