Thank you, committee. Does committee agree that concludes the Department of Transportation?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Minister. Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Any further questions on page 11-25, committee? Transportation, activity summary, marine, operations expenditure summary, $7.976 million.

The summary for Industry, Tourism and Investment is on page 12-7, the operations expenditure summary. We will defer that until after consideration of detail, and start on page 12-8. Industry, Tourism and Investment, information item, infrastructure investment summary. Agreed?

The other area I wanted to ask about is the Taltson Hydro Project. Obviously we’ve chatted about that quite a bit over the years here. Is this dead in the water? I know that there was a bit of a response, a rejection of the environmental assessment I believe by the federal Minister and there is a challenge to get, well, let’s call it a hiccup, figured out and that’s the routing. I’d like to see this project go ahead, but with this routing figured out in a way that resolves the issues. Could I just get an update on that? I see we’re not spending any money on it this year, so I’m assuming maybe...

Committee, we’re on page 12-30, Industry, Tourism and Investment, activity summary, economic diversification and business support, grants and contributions, grants, total grants, $625,000. Agreed?

I’d like to call Committee of the Whole to order. We are on the Department of Transportation. I would like to ask the Minister if he will be bringing witnesses into the House. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister McLeod.
