Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Member for Yellowknife North.

Thank you. I look forward to however this works, the Speaker working with the Chief Electoral Officer and MACA to provide the appropriate standing committee an update on how that is working. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Member for Yellowknife North. I'll take that as a comment. Was that a comment? I didn't hear a question in there. Are there any further questions to Office of the Chief Electoral Officer? If there are no further questions, turn to page 11, Legislative Assembly, Office of the Chief Electoral Officer, operations expenditure summary, 2020-2021 main estimates, $439,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you. Moving on to the office of the clerk, beginning on page 13. Questions? If there are no further questions, please turn to page 14. Legislative Assembly, office of the clerk, operations expenditure summary, 2020-2021 Main Estimates, $8,650,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you. Office of the speaker, and that is on page 17 to 19. Questions? Seeing no further questions, please turn to page 18. Legislative Assembly, office of the speaker, operations expenditure summary, 2020-2021 Main Estimates, $507,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you. Statutory offices, beginning on page 20 to 24. Questions? Member for Yellowknife Centre.

Thank you. I note that the Human Rights Adjudication Panel amount has gone up over last year and the year before. Can the Speaker say why that is? Thank you.

Thank you, Member for Yellowknife Centre. Mr. Speaker.

Due to increased workload, we've increased the Human Rights Adjudication Panel from a part-time position to a full-time position.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Member for Yellowknife Centre.

Thank you. My next question has to do with the Information and Privacy Commissioner. I note, in the Speaker's opening remarks, he talked about a greater workload. Is this funding for just one position, or what exactly in terms of staffing does it cover? Thank you.

Thank you, Member for Yellowknife Centre. Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. It's adding one position to a full-time position, and also an investigator which the Information and Privacy Commissioner felt that they needed in order, instead of things going to litigation, to try to resolve them, I do believe. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Member for Yellowknife Centre.

Thank you. My final question has to do with the languages commissioner. It's my understanding that this position has been vacant for some time, so can the Speaker tell us what the spending in this fiscal year is for? Thank you.

Thank you. Member for Yellowknife Centre. Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. The position isn't vacant at the moment. We still have a languages commissioner. The increases were due to the plans that were in place because we did put it out to competition, and someone was selected, and we budgeted to have the office moved to Deline. Since everything was planned here and also moving that position to a full-time, because the person declined on the position, the board decided to re-advertise. Because we made those changes to make it a full-time position and have the option to relocate to a different community throughout the Northwest Territories, the board felt it was only fair to put it out, the competition, once again. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Are there any further questions? Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just have one quick question regarding the Ombud. Just looking at page 23, it says there are two full-time positions in the South Slave. I am just reading through. Earlier, my understanding, there were three positions in the Ombud office. Could that have been a typo, or did I miss something? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Member for Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh. Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. Including the Ombud, there are three positions. We have the Ombud plus two staff. Thank you.
