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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am not sure. I will have to have those discussions. If there is any kind of opportunity to work with industry that wants to make a profit but, at the same time, provide opportunities for northern people and northern businesses, then we have to work with them. What that consists of, I am not sure at this moment, but I had an idea that this is where this was going. The Member has clearly indicated his non-support of a capital budget of $417,000,000. That is going to provide opportunities and infrastructure for a lot of the communities across the Northwest Territories that are badly in need of this. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Any further questions from committee? Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. On page 45, it's Fort Simpson LNG plant. Can the Minister just give us an update on the status of this project, please? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The status of that is they have done a feasibility report on that. New modular gas-generating plant and LNG storage and vaporization facility on the parcel of land outside the downtown core in Fort Simpson. Design basis engineering work has shown that the total project cost would be $13 million. This is much higher than the Inuvik project due to the fact that Fort Simpson is a greenfield project with no existing gas infrastructure. This is one of the infrastructure projects slated for funding under federal infrastructure funding. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Minister, for the update on that information. We did the feasibility study, so when is it going to be starting, shovel in the ground? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My understanding, and the reason that it is coming forward, is that we are hoping to start some of the work in 2021, this upcoming fiscal year. We have $4.875 million through this process that we are going through allocated for this particular project. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Mr. Thompson.

On page 46, it says surface water management, phase 1. Is that the work just to help fix up the issues on the new airport? Is that what we are doing here?

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That level of detail, I don't know exactly what the scope of work is going to be in the project. I think that I may have jumped the gun here a bit by pointing out how much money was actually allocated to this particular project, because it doesn't show in the Infrastructure document that we are debating. It shows in some of the substantiation that we have here. I think I jumped the gun a bit there, and maybe giving some people a head start on putting a price together for this particular project. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Mr. Thompson.

Thank you. I appreciate the Minister for his answer. The community of Sambaa K'e was looking at this as an issue moving forward, and I see that the government has been dealing with it. I think that the Minister of Infrastructure is willing to clarify for us, if the Minister is willing. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister Schumann.

Thank you, Minister Schumann. Any further questions from committee? Seeing none, I will call the page again. Infrastructure, programs and services, infrastructure investments, $63,459,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you. That brings us back to page 39. Infrastructure, total department, capital estimates, $268,455,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you. Next we have Justice, on page 48. We will defer the departmental total until after consideration of the activity summary, beginning on page 49, with information on page 50. Justice, corrections, infrastructure investments, $1,541,000. Does committee agree?
