Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Not for this purpose it's not shown that way, but that's how we come to these expenditures on region by region. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's an initiative that would be taken on by our Public Works and Services and NTPC, and I suspect that, moving forward, they will be contacting our department to see, you know, what will we be doing to meet the demands if the LNG was put into Fort Simpson. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess for clarity, if it's a return ticket going to Edmonton and back you only get charged a $20 fee. If you're going within the Northwest Territories, it's a $10 fee no matter if it's a return ticket or a one-way ticket. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. That would be an interesting to be able to do that, but in light of the fiscal situation we're in and to justify spending that kind of money and the challenges we have right now would probably be tough to accomplish. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. As reflected in this budget, only a portion of this year is captured, and then as we progress into the next fiscal year, then we'll have the full amount captured. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. We don't know what the expectations of the federal government to reinstate this money, and, as the Member is well aware, we have a new Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, so we will be engaging with him in these discussions, as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. The increase in landing fees is going to bring it to average to an airport the size of the Yellowknife airport, and that will be a $20 increase for IRF for going south and a $10 IR fee for going north. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll let ADM Jayleen Robertson answer that.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Non-passenger flights will be still charged a landing fee. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Member is right. We've done a number of repairs on the ferry up there, and we'll be doing a little bit more work on it this coming season, this next summer. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
