Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Continuing on with questions on the court services activity, I have Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. McLeod.

The impact, Minister, on Yellowknife housing with this budget.

I know it is another descriptor here in terms of product listing, runway drainage improvement in Hay River. Can you maybe give me an update here, what is the scope of this project and why the need for it? Thank you.

I appreciate the Minister giving the opportunity to explain the current situation. My concern today is still about the risk management and the liability when such an issue is before the House and is discovered. So, can the Minister indicate, what is his department’s formal health advisory protocol, given the seriousness of such a situation? Thank you.

That would be correct, Ms. Bisaro. That would be 48, 49 and 50. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. For that, we’ll go to Ms. Haener.

Thank you, committee. Sergeant-at-Arms, could you please escort the witnesses into the House, please.

Thank you. Minister McLeod, will you be kind enough to introduce your witnesses to the House, please.

Thank you. What I’m trying to get at, Mr. Chair, is to get a sense of where the department sits and has an understanding of what is the actual vacancy rate for commercial real estate in Yellowknife. We are a large tenant, both leased and owned, but I’m trying to get a grasp and I know Public Works is right on the ball on this I’m sure. They know those numbers quite accurately. I need to know, as a Member, what is the vacancy rate now in Yellowknife that we have for information in terms of commercial real estate. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. This will probably be my last opportunity to talk about Highway No. 3. I know Mr. Menicoche thought I was going to say Highway No. 7 but, sorry. Highway No. 3. We know this is a multi-year project. I believe this is part of a bundle that was being funded here through one of the Building Canada Plan projects. But to get a bit more perspective, what should we expect? What is the budget in terms of the completion? Is there a certain target on Highway No. 3 that we’re going to try to complete for this capital budget?
