We have a quorum, so let’s reconvene Committee of the Whole.
Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Just as a reminder, it’s getting a little bit noisy in here. If Members wish to carry on sidebars, they could take them outside of the Chamber. Minister Miltenberger.
Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Minister Miltenberger.
Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. To the motion, the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Michael McLeod.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Monday, October 20, 2008, I will move the following motion.
I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, that this Legislative Assembly recommends implementing a tiered vehicle registration system where fees are based on the fuel economy rating of vehicles, thereby encouraging ownership of more fuel efficient vehicles and supporting the overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the Northwest Territories.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Minister Miltenberger.
Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. The time has expired, but I’ll let Mrs. Groenewegen re-ask the question.
Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. To the motion. Mr. Bromley.
I like yeses. Yeses are good. I’d obviously like to hear her tell me today that she is actually going to communicate with the local dentists and whatnot. Just as a note, I don’t think the insured services are different in Hay River and Inuvik, so we’re not talking different prices there.
There are savings to the Government of the Northwest Territories to move forward and provide these surgeries to kids. Hay River has indicated to me that they’re quite happy, but they’re overwhelmed. They’re not able to move forward on these oral surgeries as quickly as they’d like. We do need to do something...
The next department is the Department of Transportation. We’re going to defer until after consideration of the Activity Summary page 8-2, so we’ll move on to 8-4. Page 8-4, Department of Transportation, Activity Summary, Airports, Infrastructure Investment Summary, Total Infrastructure Investment Summary: $17.103 million. Agreed?
Department of Transportation, Activity Summary, Airports, Infrastructure Investment Summary, Total Infrastructure Investment Summary: $17.103 million, approved.
