Thanks, Mr. Chair. I just had a general question for the department. Does it have any policies with regard to our infrastructure projects whereby there are quotas or targets set for northern apprentices or trades, or is it just left to the free market to determine? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, that's helpful. I don't really see much here. I'm looking at page 250 in terms of any new grants or contributions, then, to help larger or even community-scale renewable or alternative energy projects. We're just sort of sitting back waiting for federal dollars to rain from heaven? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes, I think I get it now. At what point does the department start to look at whether the airport improvement fees can be reduced? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

I'm not sure this is the right section, so is this where the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk highway maintenance costs are found? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes, my colleague, the MLA for Yellowknife North, asked a number of the questions I was going to ask. I guess, this accumulated surplus, that is just the net surplus? That does not include any drawdown for any of the capital improvements that are going to be made at the airport? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

No, this is Frame Lake.

Thanks. Now I know how the amount is going to be paid for. Where is the value of the special warrant parked right now? Is it parked just as a GNWT-wide debt in Department of Finance, or is it parked within Infrastructure? Where is that debt parked? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

I would like to thank the Premier for that response, but I want to give him a heads up: I have gone off-script. This was not a question that I gave to him ahead of time, but it is in response to the first question that I asked.

Once again, at the conclusion of CEAA panel review, after that was completed, the Premier of British Columbia announced that their new government was going to reconsider whether they should proceed with Site C. There was a process there where they were going to look at whether they should proceed or not. During that time, did our government write to the Government of...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Where, then, does the value of the $10 million special warrant show up? Is it a debt related to the revolving fund? Is it a debt, then, that is carried by the Department of Infrastructure and only sort of amortized or allocated to the Marine Transportation Services over a period of time? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. My questions are for the Premier as the Minister responsible for Intergovernmental Affairs. There is major concern with the impacts of Site C dam project, now proceeding on the Peace River in British Columbia. UNESCO, Amnesty International, International Union for the Conservation of Nature, they have all opposed this project. Yesterday in this House I tabled a letter that was signed by 14 downstream Indigenous governments, including four from the Northwest Territories, calling on the British Columbia government to cancel the project. I would like to know from the...
