Thanks, Mr. Chair. I guess we're going to agree to disagree. Can the Minister tell us what sort of efforts he and his Cabinet colleagues have made in terms of trying to secure some of the increased investment or capital following from the federal government for specific improvements at the Yellowknife Airport? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Thanks to the Minister for that response. So can the Minister just tell us a little bit more about why the department is not willing to consider a phase-in of the fees? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the comments from the Minister. We haven't actually disagreed on this since day one because it took a lot of prying to actually find out what this Economic Advisory Committee was actually going to do. Finally, we get a terms of reference. We gave advice to the Minister about how to try to make this more representative and inclusive. He just doesn't want to take it. I'm sorry. For those reasons alone, I'm not prepared to support the bill. I'll be voting against it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess my first question is: I'd like to know from the Minister or staff what are the subsidy costs for other airports that we operate in the Northwest Territories? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think this is the wrong step. It is not inclusive, it is not representative, and not terribly accountable. I raised all of these issues at committee, and do not like the responses I am getting, and for that reason, I will be voting against the bill itself. I had hoped that the Minister would have responded more positively.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Yes, I will try to leave some time at the end for the Minister to reply.

I don't want to repeat all of the arguments of my colleague from Kam Lake, but I do have some additional items, as well. I think it's fair to say that this proposal for Bill 7, it was not part of the mandate. This was not an initiative that I knew anything about. It was not part of the mandate, so what was really driving this? I think the motivation was the fiscal reduction targets set by Cabinet to try to get this $4 million contribution from our government off the books, quite frankly. That was the...

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I want to go to the committee terms of reference, which are apparently still secret. Why is there no public representation from a variety of stakeholders for the Economic Advisory Committee? It says that it's -- well, I am not allowed to talk about it, I guess, but it seems to be business leaders. We do not know what kind of business they may be involved with, but why was this not crafted with a view to getting representation from key stakeholders like the travel industry, the travelling public, air carriers, the Northern Air Transportation Association, and so on, the City...

Thanks again to the Minister. That's very helpful to hear that. I appreciate her efforts. Part of the work of Elections NWT is to promote and increase participation in the electoral process including participation of women. How is our government collaborating with Elections NWT or even other organizations to increase the number of women running for elected office?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I guess I'd like to suggest that it's not just air carriers that would be interested in that sort of metric information. It's probably actually the public and air travellers. So are those sorts of things going to be considered? The reason why I ask this is the economic advisory committee is just going to be a bunch of business folks, which is fine, but there is not necessarily any public representation on there. Air carriers may not even be represented. It's just going to be businesspeople. Is there going to be some effort to develop indicators of performance at the airport...

Merci, Monsieur le President. My question is for the Minister responsible for the Status of Women. I would like to thank her for her very thorough Minister's statement earlier today. I've had to rejig my questions a bit. The 2016-2017 Annual Report on Implementation of the Mandate of the Government of the Northwest Territories was tabled in House, I think, last week. In reporting on government accomplishments, there's no mention of section 5 items that deal with increasing the number of women running for office. I'm just wondering if the Minister can explain whether this was -- or, sorry, the...
