---SHORT RECESS

I'll now call Committee of the Whole back to order. Committee, we are going to continue with the main estimates, the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment. And we're going to continue on at tourism and parks, beginning on page 238 with information items on page 239 to 241. Oh sorry, I better ask the Minister if she has witnesses. Sergeant-at-arms, please escort the witnesses in.

Minister, will you please introduce your witnesses.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, on my left is Pamela Strand, deputy minister. And on my right is Nina Salvador, the director of finance.

Thank you. And as I said before, we are on pages 239 to 241, tourism and parks. Are there any questions from Members? There are no questions? Member for Frame Lake.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So I know that there was some fanfare made about how some NGO funding was increased in the budget. And I'm just wondering -- I'm looking at page 239, grants, contributions. Can the Minister tell us whether any of the grants and contributions were increased as a result of forced growth? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Member. Minister of ITI.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, there's one increase in this area. It is with respect to NWT Tourism.

Thank you. Member for Frame Lake.

Thanks, Madam Chair. So the NWT Tourism doesn't actually show funding for NWT Tourism here, unless I'm misreading this, but is that the tourism industry contribution? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Let me turn that to the deputy minister just to point to which line item it'll be under, please.

Thank you. Deputy minister Strand.

Thank you. Member for Frame Lake.

Thanks, Madam Chair. The visitor information centre line here, can the Minister tell us which visitor information centres are supported? And it doesn't look like there's any change there; I just want to confirm that. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you. Minister.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I certainly could provide a list. There's the Dempster-Delta Visitor Centre, Western Arctic Regional Visitors Centre, village of Fort Simpson, Yellowknife, Norman Wells, and in the South Slave is 60th Parallel and I can certainly provide more detail perhaps by breakdown in writing. That might be easier. Thank you.
