Thank you, Madam Chair. To the extent that it appears as a line item, this particular line item program was sunsetting this year, and so that is why it does then continue to sunset. A lot of what it was being used for in the past was to support Indigenous governments or Indigenous organizations or community organizations to attend functions like roundup or PDAC, national-level conferences, which this year are not happening, so it was not an urgent item to need to have funded or renewed for this year. Again, it gives us that opportunity to conclude the review. There is some funding that can be often found from within when there are items that come up through the year, and we will certainly be continuing to look at it. Again, I know I have spoken about my commitment to this area, so we will be continuing to look at that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I have similar questions about the MPR various contributions line item, which is contributions for the geological survey scientific research and mineral resources, so I am wondering if the Minister can speak to that. I do recognize that it has been two years now that that has been gone from the budget, but it did used to be a $626,000 investment in resource development. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Perhaps I will suggest that Deputy Minister Strand can provide some analysis to that, please.

Thank you. Deputy Minister.

Thank you. Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I really appreciate that information. My next question is kind of a stretch, but I think it has relevance here. My next question is actually in regard to the surface rights board, which I know is a Lands line item; it is not an ITI line item. It is $303,000 that I learned that a constituent of mine and myself almost made NWT history in almost using it, and I think that that is something that could have been mitigated by improving and formalizing a process, an internal and external process, between Lands and ITI. Right now, somebody can come to ITI, and they get a subsurface land rights; and they go to Lands, and they get surface land rights. If those two licences conflict with one another, then they go on the use of surface rights board, which, thankfully in the Northwest Territories, has not needed to be used. However, there is no part in the process where ITI communicates with Lands, or if it is in the process, it is not consistently used. I am wondering if the Minister will commit to formalizing an internal and external communication process to better educate clients on how those two licences work together. Thank you.

Thank you. Minister.

Madam Chair, I was wondering what the examination question was going to be here. I can certainly make a commitment that we can put something together that explains how the two work and where the line between the two is, but I am also going to take away the fact that, if there are occasions where these two programs are not communicating effectively, that is a bigger conversation that I will also take away. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Member for Kam Lake.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I really appreciate that because, while it's not a line item here, I think it's an opportunity for us to mitigate some costs down the road in some other line items. I appreciate that. Thank you.

Thank you. No further questions? Okay. Are there any further questions under minerals and petroleum resources? Member for Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Do we have a date for when we expect online maps to be implemented?

Thank you. Minister.

Madam Chair, let me see if there is an update. I know that was somewhat dependent on work being done with mineral resources regulations, but let me see if I have an update through Deputy Minister Strand, please.

Thank you. Deputy Minister.

Thank you. Member for Yellowknife North.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Can I get an update of what the MAARS system costs? Thank you.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm not sure if Deputy Minister Strand or if Director Salvador would be a better place to answer that. Let me start with Deputy Minister Strand, please.

Deputy Minister.
