Question 710-18(2): Yellowknife Airport Terminal Hours of Operation
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 65)

The story continues. A stranger who was on the same flight as the Bennetts overheard Mr. Bennett's conversation with his wife, and, out of the blue, he said, "We have an extra bedroom at home. You can come spend the night with us, no problem. You won't be left alone." That helpful stranger was Yellowknife City Councillor Adrian Bell. My second question to the Minister is: what happens with people who want to stay at the airport overnight when it's closed and Councillor Bell isn't around?

Question 704-18(2): Commitment to the Manufacturing Industry
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 65)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m still shaken from that first answer and the second answer. How about this? Will the Minister commit to being an agent of change and working with committee the way I suggested in my second question? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 701-18(2): Consultations on Climate Change and Energy Strategy
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 64)

I heard the Minister say that it is open to Chamber staff and board members. Luckily in Hay River, the Chamber has sent out the invitation to their actual membership, so there are small businesses that will be attending. That is just by accident and not by design. I would like to ask the Minister what the engagement has been like in past workshops. Has there been a lot of attendance and input by them?
