Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll defer that to Mr. Neudorf.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess just for clarity, all airplanes landing at the Yellowknife Airport are currently paying landing fees. What we're proposing is to increase their fees to the average of an airport this size across Canada so it would be just an increase in the landing fee to standards that we're proposing. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We've written a letter to the federal minister, voicing our concern on reinstating this funding for this initiative, and we'll continue to work with the federal government and the Minister, moving forward on this. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The big increase on that line is due to the Yellowknife Airport's introduction of the airport improvement fees. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll defer to Deputy Minister Neudorf.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As far as helicopters go, if they're taking off and landing from their own operations and not using the terminal, there would be no fees charge for them. They'll be paying lease fees or other stuff for their operation. As for non-passenger airplanes, there will be a landing fee still applicable to them as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. For the coming season, that is correct. We will be looking at all aspects of the ferry operation in the Beau-Del in the coming years. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Speaker, further to my Return to Written Question 5-18(2), I wish to table the following document entitled "Maintenance Contracts on Highway No. 1." Also, Mr. Speaker, I wish to table the following document entitled "Environment and Natural Resources Strategic Plan 2015-2020." Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll defer that to the Deputy Minister Neudorf.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, they are. Just to clarify one thing, the 2014-15 was due to the increased traffic of Gahcho Kue construction as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
