Again, I’m encouraged by the enthusiasm of the Minister but this does require more than just the need or desire. This requires strategic framework. It requires a plan of action to keep this wave alive. I didn’t hear that in the Minister’s delivery here today. Would the Minister commit to put some type of strategy or framework strategy around our film and production industry so that we can keep this wave as long as we can in the North and be proud of the film industry that is created today?

I’m still a bit confused. Is this not, as I said, a federal initiative that we’re getting to help offset? If it is indeed a revenue, was treated a revenue in 2011-2012-2013, I’m getting the sense that this is somewhere else. If this is somewhere else, can the Minister indicate where is the recovery then? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today will be for the Minister of ITI. Minister Ramsay spoke to us the other day in the House, tabling a statement regarding a new website that they’re designing for the newly formed media association to hopefully entice the film industry. As good as it is, it’s a great tool. I’m not going to deny that. I’ve had the pleasure of talking to some of the fine folks at Buffalo Air who really have minted a unique niche market in the film industry and I think we’re all duly proud of what they’ve done for the Northwest Territories, not just on a national but a...

Thank you, Madam Chair. On 13-9 there is a recovery of the Mutual Aid Resource Sharing Agreement. There seems to be a zero entry for 2012-2013. If I can get a comment or action as to why as such. Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, I agree, CRTC is obviously one of the national bodies that look after this. However, consumers today don’t have a vehicle and if we have to wait for rulings from large organizations such as CRTC, consumers could be waiting for a long period of time.

Given the fact that this is nothing new, there are many provinces that have already jumped on board, obviously there’s legislation that has been created, there are steps, procedures in place to help protect the public. Again, my question to the Minister: Is this something feasible that the department would consider doing in the very...

I thank the Minister for saying that. Even if it’s charged back, I can’t speak on behalf of the airlines, but if the airlines are out there listening, you may want to research this a little bit more as well.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It gives me a great pleasure and honour to welcome a number of my family members who are here this weekend to celebrate my son’s Grade 12 graduation. We have the matriarch of the Dolynny clan, my mother, Mrs. Vivian Dolynny; my younger brother, Mr. Stacy Dolynny from Sherwood Park, Alberta; the cute one next to him is my little niece Alexia; her big brother, Logan Dolynny; behind my mother is my sister-in-law who is here from Grande Prairie, Alberta, Darcy Zackowski; sitting next to her is my father-in-law, Mr. Grant Zackowski; the cute one at the top is Mr. Matthew...

I do appreciate Mr. Neudorf’s response. The question is if it is about faulty equipment, and if so, is this a recurrent issue that we see in similar sized airports with similar sized equipment?

I have a hard time believing that other airports would be incurring charges of this nature on a repeated process. I’m assuming that at one point in time they would fix the problem and not have to have these type of chargebacks. Again the question being: Is this a very similar occurrence we’re seeing in other airports of similar size, similar magnitude, similar situations, or is this just a unique...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It’s a privilege to fall behind the “no-more” speech.

One common problem that many people encounter when they open their monthly cell phone bill is called “cell shock.” Although not life threatening, it could have a disastrous effect on your pocketbook. This cell shock is a direct result from consumers being surprised with charges on services they were not aware they would be charged for or services they did not know would cost extra.

To counter, provinces like Quebec, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, and now Ontario are introducing consumer protection legislation to...

No further questions on that line.
