Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The airport road or road from Inuvik Airport into Inuvik is something that we’ve looked at. It’s something that we are looking at in Corridors for Canada III as part of the work that’s needed on the Dempster. At the time we were putting in Corridors for Canada, we had considered that portion of the road as part of the Dempster and the repairs that are needed. That is something we are looking at within that whole area of Corridors for Canada III. The airport sinkhole is something that we are aware of and definitely something that we will be repairing.

Mr. Speaker, we would have no problem tabling the survey in the House. Thank you.

Yes, I do, Mr. Chair.

Yes, I do, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. To my left is deputy minister, Department of Transportation, Russell Neudorf. To my right, assistant deputy minister, Department of Transportation, Daniel Auger.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is my pleasure to present the Department of Transportation’s proposed main estimates for the 2014-2015 fiscal year for consideration.

The primary business of the department is to operate the NWT public transportation system and provide for the safe, secure, accessible and reliable movement of people and goods between communities. The activities undertaken by the department also protect the infrastructure investments already made in our transportation system. The department’s work is balanced with meeting the increasing needs of communities and industry that are reliant...

Mr. Speaker, the GNWT strives to have a respectful workplace. The labour relations is a course that is a requirement for all managers in the GNWT and there are some more courses and programs that are going to be a requirement for managers in the GNWT that will address this particular issue. The individuals that feel that they’re being bullied have options to go to their managers if they think that their managers are the ones providing or distributing the bullying or they have the option to go to the next level. They have the option to go to union if they happen to be unionized. They can go to...

Mr. Speaker, certainly as time goes, the severity of punishment for impaired driving has continued to increase. Impaired driving is certainly something that’s not viewed like it used to be in years past. It’s considered to be a very serious offence and is treated as such. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I don’t have that data with me. We are assuming that we’re still going to go and put in programs like the driver’s licence merit point program, the Alcohol Ignition Interlock Program and things like that, that are designed to address individuals that do drive impaired. But not having the information here, I’m not able to provide that to the Member to indicate whether or not some of this works… In the past, some of the work the department has done has had a positive effect on the impaired driving rates. Thank you.

[Microphone turned off] …have very good numbers. When we’re hiring students, we’re hiring students that come back to the North to work. Over 95 percent of the students that do come to work for the GNWT are either priority 1 candidates or priority 2 candidates.

I can talk to the Department of Human Resources to track the students that are coming in. Like I indicated, we’re getting about 700 applicants and if 400 of those students are not hired, then we can track those to determine why they were not a match, why they were not picked by the various departments that they did apply for. Students...
