Statements in Debates

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

Again, I will have to check with the department and see where that’s at, see if we’re able to share that document as it has a bunch of detailed information, I believe, in it that I’d have to check on.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

I’ll have to check with the department and I know we’ve submitted one on the Mackenzie Valley Highway and see where that’s at. I believe it’s going back and forth with the federal government. I will endeavour to check on to it and get back to the Member on that.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

Any 24hour issues that they may have with some of these airports, there’s always a duty manager on location in Yellowknife. There’s a flight supplement number, which could be accessed through a 1877 number, which I can provide to the Member anytime they want. Airline companies, I suspect, are the ones that are having these issues, and they’re probably well aware of this number, but we’ll gladly share that with the Member anytime he wants.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Friday, June 24, 2016, I will move that Bill 7, An Act to Amend the Revolving Funds Act, be read for the first time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think I missed the very last part of the Member’s question, if it was a 1800 number, but we take all airport safety and issues seriously in the smaller communities. If you cannot contact a local contractor, I suspect you can get right hold of the Department of Airports, which would be our local director.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 23)

It’s early days for the working group on the Bathurst and other boreal caribou and other things as such, so I suspect that those conversations will be taking place and we’ll be bringing forward the commitments and ideas that these committees bring forward. I cannot tell the Member as of yet if we have any plans set aside for this type of thing.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Yes, I will get it to the Member by June 29th, end of business day. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

By the end of this session, June 29th.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

I’m not sure if I could commit to have that done by end of session. I’ll have to check with the department and see when we will be applying that.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the Member is well aware, I guess this time of year is our routine maintenance and the crews are getting out there and doing all the routine stuff that’s done in the springtime from culvert thawing to, you know, straightening the signs and other stuff. I suspect that the department will be doing the application of calcium in the short order that is coming up here. You know road safety is the number one importance to us, so I can double check on that and get back to the Member exactly when it will be. Just putting that out. Thank you.
