Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Hawkins.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, when the airport in Yellowknife was renovated to accommodate the security screening equipment -- and I believe at the time the entire project was just over $11 million, $11.2 million -- I think it was $6.2 million that the Government of the Northwest Territories was going to receive from CATSA and the difference was going to be made up by increased landing fees, I believe, or some fees at the airport.

I’m not talking about the $100 a month to help families offset day care costs; I’m talking about contributions from the federal government, former commitments or new commitments, whatever the case may be. Is there new money coming? Thank you.
