Thank you, Madam Chair. Transport Canada is in the process of reviewing all runway lengths throughout Canada and NWT is no different. Can the Minister or delegate team give us an update on some of the outcomes based on those reviews, and how does that affect the runways that we have currently throughout the Northwest Territories? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Ms. Iatridis.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. For that we’ll go to Mr. Devitt.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Obviously we are discussing issues regarding page 17. Inclusive to this page is the line item under culture and heritage. I want to spend a few minutes here on that note, knowing full well that ECE and ITI work jointly with the arts.

The other day tabled in the House by the Minister of ITI was a supporting statement which basically talked in favour of supporting of the arts.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Education, Culture and Employment, information item, Student Loan Revolving Fund. Any questions? Being none, 10-32, Education, Culture and Employment, information item, education authority program and services. Any questions? Being none, 10-33. Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Early childhood development is an important aspect for Regular Members and if you don’t think so, stay tuned for later today.

We are hoping that this sends a very strong and meaningful signal to the department that proper funding and planning and full collaboration with all northern stakeholders needs to be more than just the flavour of the month.

Recently, I had the honour of co-chairing with my colleagues Minister Lafferty and Minister Beaulieu with many participants from around the NWT as an advisor leading on the child and family resource centre issues.
