Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Government of the Northwest Territories is monitoring the situation in the Yukon. We have to continue to analyze the implications of this decision over the next little while, and we certainly have to be cognizant of the implications that it could have here in the Northwest Territories. We are following this and we are paying close attention to what’s happening in the Yukon.

That information was provided to Members, and Members would know the answer to that question. The answer to that question is the government had to put money into the project upfront. Those are some costs in a project that’s going to be close to $300 million. So, no, that $12 million isn’t part of the $299 million. Thank you.

It would be under information items, work performed on behalf of others, but we’ll get you the exact page, Madam Chair. Page 11-36.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Earlier during question period I did commit, like we’ve committed to Members when we were before the standing committee, we provided the risks, we’ve been upfront with Members on what the potential risks are. Likewise, we intend to be as fully upfront with the public here. We will get the information on our website as soon as we have a deal.

We do not have a deal, we do not know where all those risks are today, we’ve shared all the risks that we know with Members of this House two weeks ago during committee. So as we move along, we will continue to share the information...

Thanks, Madam Chair. Thanks to the Member for the question. There was a lot of juggling around with our fees, and for a detailed response, probably best to answer that would be Deputy Minister Neudorf.

It may be contained on the EIRB website. If the Member’s got access to the Internet, he could try that website. I’ve taken his notice of lack of information on our website. We will get as much information up there as soon as possible.

Thank you, Madam Chair. We hope to go to a Transportation Strategy update in the next year. We also need to come up with a plan and we are currently working on a plan on an infrastructure program from the federal government, a cost-shared program, where we could best utilize those capital dollars in the NWT in our transportation system. We are working on that and that is definitely a work in progress. As soon as we get something concrete, we’ll be coming to the Members to share that plan with them. Thank you.

On a small scale, like you see in this year’s budget, $60,000, but that’s just an effort to try to help folks out in Hay River. But we do not have the millions of dollars it would require to dredge the port of Hay River, nor is it our responsibility.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have nothing to add aside from echoing your comments that it is a hypothetical question. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. To my right I’ve got Russell Neudorf, deputy minister of the Department of Transportation. To my left, Mr. Daniel Auger, assistant deputy minister, Department of Transportation.
