Agreed. Committee, we will continue after a short recess. Thank you.

---SHORT RECESS

Thank you, committee. We will continue. Okay, committee, we are almost done. Information items on pages 222 to 226. Any questions, committee? Mr. Vanthuyne.

Mr. Chair, just correct me, page 222?

Yes, 222 to 226, information items. Mr. Vanthuyne.

Thanks again there, Mr. Chair. All I really want to ask here is: can the Minister provide us an update on the status of the review that was undertaken of BDIC with regard to the programs and the organizational and structural review? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Vanthuyne. Minister Schumann.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have just received it, and we are in the process of reviewing it as we speak. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Schumann. Mr. Vanthuyne.

How long does the Minister think it is going to take to go through the review process? Will the Standing Committee on Economic Development and Environment be a part of the process? How long until we are expecting to put out a public document to get an understanding of what next steps are going to be with the BDIC? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Vanthuyne. Minister Schumann.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The plan going forward once we do this review is, one of the things that I am trying to do right now, we have been trying to set a date up so I can sit down with BDIC's board and their chair to have a discussion around this. Then, once that is done, I am going to go to Cabinet with this document and then probably to standing committee.

Time frame-wise, I can't give you an exact date because we have been having a heck of a time here to try to get organized with the board, because they are from all over the Northwest Territories, to set up a time that we can meet. I am hoping that is going to happen within the next couple of weeks with them, at least. I suspect it is going to be a little bit tough to sit down with standing committee before the end of this session, so we are going to have to try to figure out, with you as the chair, and the timing, how we can make that work for you guys, as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister Schumann. Mr. Vanthuyne.

Okay. Well, thank you, Mr. Chair. We certainly look forward to seeing the next steps on that take place, and hopefully we can actually address the review in some way, shape, or form within the life of this Assembly. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Vanthuyne. Any further questions, committee? Seeing none, I will now return to the departmental summary found on page 203. I will call the page again. Industry, Tourism and Investment, Main Estimates 2019-2020, total department, $59,974,000. Any questions from committee? Are we agreed?

Thank you. Does committee agree that consideration of the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment is concluded?

Thank you. Thank you, Minister, and thanks to your witnesses for appearing before us. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses from the chamber. Thank you, committee. Mr. Testart, what is the wish of committee?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move the Chair rise and report progress. Thank you.

Thank you. A motion is on the floor to report progress. The motion is in order and is non-debatable. All those in favour? All those opposed? The motion is carried.

---Carried

I will now rise and report progress. Thank you.

Can I get the report of the Committee of the Whole, Member for Mackenzie Delta?

Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Bill 32, Naturopathic Profession Statutes Amendment Act, and Tabled Document 322-18(3), Main Estimates 2019-2020, and would like to report progress, and that Bill 32, Naturopathic Profession Statutes Amendment Act, is ready for a third reading. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of the Committee of the Whole be concurred with. Thank you.

Do we have a seconder? Member for Nahendeh. The motion is in order. All those in favour? All those opposed? The motion is carried.
