Thank you for that. I appreciate being right on the ball with conversions. That’s pretty impressive. I like that.

So, it’s roughly 85,000 square feet versus how much commercial real estate that we have that’s actually occupied. What percentage do we have, as a guess, as to what vacancy do we have of commercial real estate in Yellowknife right now? Thank you.

Thank you. One final question. Are we safe to assume that the contractor is in a so-called “ready, go” position for this upcoming winter season, that we have all the trucks in place, all the people, their employees in place? This $30 million that is appropriated today in conjunction with the $4 million reserve last year, is it going to be sufficient to say that we should have a pretty good completed project at the end of this construction season? Thank you.

Pages 26 and 27, water resources, infrastructure investments, $790,000. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, committee. Committee, we’re actually going to defer page 51 until consideration of the activity as a whole. I’ll get you to turn to page 52, corrections, infrastructure investments, $7.846 million. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Committee, again, we are on pages 68 to 72 on finance and infrastructure services, infrastructure investments, $22.187 million. Does committee agree?

The old sweeper that is going to be replaced, does it have any value? Is it going to be re-profiled and used elsewhere in our airport fleet? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In keeping with my theme of evaluating the McLeod government and with reference to my report of September 29, 2015, today I will talk about GNWT debt and our borrowing capacity, our inability to borrow due to federally imposed debt limit restricting progressive capital investment from 2000 to 2007 thus leading to the territorial infrastructure deficit we see today.

Arguably, this has curtailed efforts to diversify the NWT economy and tied the territory to an intensely cyclical resource development sector. As a result, it is the 16th and 17th Legislative Assemblies that...

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Welcome to the House, Ms. Stanislaus and Ms. Kaylo. Committee, we are on Industry, Tourism and Investment, page 45 of your capital investments. With that, we will turn it over to general comments.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Ms. Bisaro.
