It would be 27 total. Six would be paved and the remainder would be gravelled, 21 gravelled.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’m not sure why the Member wouldn’t have the project substantiation on the runway stabilization. I’ll go to Mr. Neudorf to provide an explanation on how that money is going to be spent.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. We will only have one witness with me today to review the capital plan for the Department of Transportation and that is Deputy Minister Russ Neudorf.

I hope so, Mr. Chairman.

Again, I thank the Member for his concerns and I believe it’s the hourly operating costs are more on the Merv Hardie. I don’t have the specifics on exactly in comparison to the Louis Cardinal, but I’d be more than happy to get the department to put together a cost comparison on both vessels and get that to the Member, and we can have a discussion after the Member has a look at the numbers. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The latest data that the Department of Transportation has on tickets issued under the distracted driving legislation goes until almost the end of May, and that resulted in 30 tickets being issued. As to the amount of warnings, I’d have to get that number for the Member.

Thank you. I believe the on-line reservation system has been in place for a number of years now. To get to the detail of the Member’s question, I’d certainly have to take a look at that and we’ll get back to the Member with a response. Thank you.

Again, I thank the Member. That is something we’re also looking at. It will be a comprehensive look at the operation times, hours, opening season of the parks, and how they’re operated and how that works. I look forward to working with the Members later on when we do this look into the operation of parks around the territory. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the Member for that. It is a good question. We do need to find more capital dollars for campgrounds or park systems across the Northwest Territories. The number we have in this year’s capital plan is very meager. We certainly need to find more.

There has been a great deal of talk – they are going back a number of years, even since I was with the department a number of years ago – about an RV park here in Yellowknife. That is something we have to continue to pursue. Also, there are opportunities at Fred Henne to expand campgrounds there and sites there at that park. There...

I can certainly get that level of detail for the Member. It exists. We can certainly track that and look forward to providing that information to the Member. Thank you.
