Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I want to highlight the work of a young Frame Lake constituent. Ms. Jazzy Hans is a 10-year-old student at J.H. Sissons School and she has taken the occasion of the annual Heritage Fair at her school to follow her Olympic dream.

Jazzy decided to do research about her role model, Christine Sinclair.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Mr. Hawkins.

I’ve had a couple of unfortunate experiences with parking at the Yellowknife Airport. I guess I would like to know from the Minister… I think he’s aware. I think he’s been caught once or twice as well. I appreciate that we want to keep traffic moving in front of the terminal building. We don’t want people parking there and leaving their vehicles, but I do have a concern with the negative attitude, I guess, that is put upon people dropping somebody off. If I’m dropping...

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Committee, we’re on page 11-33, Transportation, activity summary, road licensing. Mr. Hawkins.
