Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee Thank you, Madame Chair. What the department has tried to do to provide more clarity with regard to the supplementary estimates is to prepare this PowerPoint presentation to address potential anticipated questions. What we have in front of us, moving to page 2, is essentially how much we have been given by Parliament to date in terms of authorities, and then what the supplementary estimates provide us with.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee That is technically correct if it's not re-profiled.
February 23rd, 2017Committee meeting
Paul Thoppil
Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee That is correct. But if it's re-profiled, then it's moved into future years. There's a process of re-profiling, which involves working with the central agencies, the Department of Finance and the Treasury Board, to move that forward. Technically, the answer is correct, that if it's not re-profiled, it goes back to the CRF, but it is being re-profiled.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee It's all indigenous.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee There are two amounts for the north, one for the indigenous languages for the Yukon self-governing nations, which you'll see in supplementary estimates (C), and then there is about $6 million that's moving from contributions to grants for the Nunavut land claims settlement. There's about $7 million that you're seeing through the supplementary estimates (C).

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee Ours is all indigenous, and the French you'll see in Canadian Heritage's supplementaries.

Paul Thoppil
Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee Right. It's a horizontal label for across-government ministries, but the amount allocated for our ministry is just the indigenous languages portion.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee It's in the Yukon. It's Yukon first nations.

Paul Thoppil
Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee That's for a number of purposes, such as contaminated sites and out-of court residential schools settlement payments. Those are a couple of examples.

Paul Thoppil
Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee If I may, it's the technical means for managing the fiscal framework, moving money from one year to another, in terms of frozen allotments.
February 23rd, 2017Committee meeting
Paul Thoppil
Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee No. It all benefits the communities. Vote 10 is to help them to prepare before coming to the workshops, so all of that money is to the benefit of northerners.
February 23rd, 2017Committee meeting
Paul Thoppil
Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee As the minister quite rightly stated, monies are earmarked for defined purposes. When you have a frozen allotment, that's the basis for ensuring that money is re-profiled into future purposes for when those obligations need to be paid.

Paul Thoppil
Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee Are we referring to frozen allotments?
