Madam Chair, I appreciate the honesty here. We know the troubles. We know the challenges faced by the department. What would be interesting to have is – and I know we have to wait for the strategy to come full course – the needs assessment, the priority list or the substantiation sheets on those sections of highways that are in dire need of repair or resurfacing or actually even new construction. Has the department compiled such a document? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Madam Chair. In the title-ship of corporate services, I know it encompasses a lot of operation expenditures so I want to first talk about the remaining money that could still not be spent. This money was from the Building Canada Plan, which I believe ceased in 2011. I know there are residual monies that are usually put into stasis or basically in a holding pattern.

Can the Minister indicate if all the money under the previous federal Building Canada Plan has been spent or are there still projects outstanding, tied or attached to that resource money?

Madam Chair, it is very promising news. I think the general public would appreciate that. I know people who have to drive hundreds of kilometres to get a driver’s abstract probably waste more in fuel than they do in trying to get the piece of paper.

My next question has to do with harmonization of vehicle permitting, or I like to refer it to as “in transit”. Currently, if you were to purchase a vehicle outside of the Northwest Territories and have to register it in transit, the user has to go to each and every province to re-register that vehicle on his journey back to the Northwest Territories...

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Mr. Hawkins, your time is up. I will go to Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Committee wishes to continue deliberations on Transportation with the main estimates and then Municipal and Community Affairs.
