Thank you, Minister McLeod. Committee, we are on page 383, sport, recreation and youth, operations expenditure summary, $6.792 million. Does committee agree?

I’d like to call Committee of the Whole back to order. Committee, as per earlier today, we’re going to continue with the main estimates for the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs. With that, we have the Minister responsible. Do you have any witnesses you would like to bring into the House, Mr. McLeod?

Committee, page 371, public safety, active positions, information item. Any questions?

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. General comments? Is committee prepared to go to detail?

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. For that we’ll go to Mr. Schauerte.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. I will take that as a comment. Committee, page 383, sport, recreation and youth, operations expenditure summary, $6.792 million. Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister Abernethy.

Mr. Speaker, I’d like to continue my questions with the Minister of Transportation on my topic today, which is the Yellowknife Airport.

Clearly today, we’ve heard 20 years of a government of complacency. We’ve heard about a government of perpetual planning where the guiding principles of “delay, defer and defuse” I believe are alive and well in this government and a government that is much okay with losing $2 million a year.

Given that the Yellowknife Airport is bleeding, as I said, to the tune of $2 million annually, can the Minister inform the House what are the short- and long-term...

Clause 33. Ms. Bisaro.

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

Minister Abernethy, if you’d be so kind as to introduce your witnesses for the record.
