In favour.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when we're done here, I will forward the email that I received and referred to in my statement about the numerous times that Tin Can Hill has been proposed for development, and it has been shot down by residents. I'm, again, concerned about the waste of money on this project going forward as I can tell you, from what I'm gauging from listening to residents, they do not want it. And for them to not have been asked, for my constituents to not have been asked, is unacceptable. And, again, it's just a matter of this government doing whatever they would like to...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That could have been answered in just as an everywhere answer, so I would just ask that the Minister please speed up his responses.

Can the Minister please tell me when the public consultation began?

Mr. Speaker, it seems to be a bit of a habit that things become a done deal before we're ever asked about them. Clearly, my residents were also, my constituents were also very surprised by this decision and now many are worried that they will not have an input and it will all just be lip service. So can the Minister speak a bit to the public consultation process and when is...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I am sure you’re aware, as is everyone else in the territory based on how my inbox and messages are blowing up , ECE and the City of Yellowknife have announced their intent to consider the parcel of land locally known as Tin Can Hill as the site of the futureproposed campus of the polytechnic university.

Based on the emails and the posts I am seeing online, residents appear to bewildered to hear that once again their beloved Tin Can Hill is being considered for development. In fact, in one email to the city I was cc’d on, the author provided a long list...

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm really glad to hear that. I know the tourism operators probably are as well.

I'm curious to know that if we, and I would assume we will reach the $600,000, is there an opportunity for us to have more money come here, or will we see another supplement coming? Thank you.

Maybe you can ask the Minister of Infrastructure then if you can buy fuel from her, since it's always steadily laid out. No more comments. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. So then is it correct to say that this is just the amount of money to hold the planes and then should the planes then be used for suppression, we wouldn't be incurring more costs? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And are those two aircraft with one company, or will that be spread over two organizations? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I may not be a small community MLA but what I am is an MLA that listens. And as a result, I do speak with a lot of people from across this territory who share with me their stories. And oftentimes I'm told that they've been told to come to me because their own Member doesn't listen to them. And as a result, I've now find myself in a situation where because I care so much about the people in this territory that I'm struggling to deal with the stories that I'm hearing and the trauma that I'm hearing our people are experiencing on a daily basis.

And when it...
