Could I get an inventory by those categories for, say, existing ones for Yellowknife, Hay River and Fort Smith?

So there is no other staff, just the maintenance staff. It will be all GNWT staff that will be taken over, just for confirmation. Thank you.

Maybe I could just ask the Minister to commit to finding me where that has been documented.

Thanks for that response. I’m wondering: it sounds like those will be workers coming here from somewhere else, or will they be people who are hired locally? I’ll get another part in here. I assume we would need some sort of hangar facility as part of this. Maybe I could just get what the plan is for that, as well, and when we might see that, if that’s something we would be constructing in the capital budgets.

One last question, and I appreciate this information. Was the new building constructed with the potential of solar on its roof in mind, and associated with that, do we now make sure that that’s a consideration when we design buildings and construct buildings?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just with a couple of questions on the air tanker fleet, we started the purchase of these last year, I believe. When do we expect delivery of these aircraft, and if that’s spread over time, when are we getting the first one and when are we getting the last one?

Thanks for that good information. I guess, since you bring up solar, what’s the potential for our Yellowknife building assets? Do they typically have roofs that are suitable for decent sized installations with respect to the buildings demand?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’d like to table an article, entitled “Universal Child Care Study Highlights Benefits” from the NWT Literacy Council newsletter September 30, 2015. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thanks to the Minister for that. I didn’t expect you to have it right on you, so I appreciate that.

I don’t know the degree to which you would have your finger on the pulse, but I’m wondering what the breakdown is of our lighting in all our Yellowknife assets in terms of energy-efficient lighting. Would we be able to estimate, say, have we converted 10 percent to LEDs, and I don’t know where there are still T12s and T8s around or whether we’ve got better standards now. Something that would give me an idea of how far along we’ve come so far in converting our...

This is a small number of people, and to those involved, it’s extremely important, as the Minister knows.

This week I had a communication with an audiology professional, one of our staff, who said “In the grand scheme of things, it seems so insignificant, but when you are working with these parents and having to look them in the eyes and tell them their child has a hearing impairment and it’s going to cost $2,465, the cost of a pair of hearing aids and ear molds, to give them access to sound, well, it’s a difficult place to be in as a professional and I imagine as a family too. And there is...
