Merci, monsieur le President. My question is for the Premier. Cabinet Ministers and GNWT staff travelled to Vancouver during the week of January 18 to 23, 2020, to attend the Association for Mineral Exploration Roundup. Can the Premier provide a list of all the NWT Ministers and staff who travelled to Vancouver for the meeting, and:

  1. total cost of travel, including transportation, showing air travel by executive versus economy class, accommodations, expenses, and associated allowances;
  2. any related contract costs for the trip, particularly costs of conference registration, exhibitor staffing, any fees for consulting services outside of those provided by public servants, and any funding by the GNWT Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment for the costs of other NWT representatives attending, including Indigenous governments;
  3. a description of hospitality events, including catering, speaker, and other costs, and numbers of persons attending; and
  4. what analysis, if any, has taken place of the value for money of the GNWT participation at this event.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. My apologies to the interpreters for speaking too fast.
