Question 244-18(2): Information on Fort Simpson Ferry Service

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a couple of follow-up questions for the Minister of Transportation regarding the ferry services. Mr. Speaker, the Minister made a commitment in this House to provide me of the cost analysis of what the two extra hours of ferry operations would be. Unfortunately, I did not ask for a date for getting that information. Mr. Speaker, could the Minister commit to having this information to provide to me by the end of June 24th. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Masi. Minister of Transportation.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I cannot commit to having it to the Member by June 24th, but I will commit to the Member to have it to him by end of session. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. Can I get a clarification if it’s session, because we can go on for a while, or at the end of this sitting? Thank you. Mr. Speaker.

By the end of this session, June 29th.

I thank the Minister for the commitment. I am assuming we’re talking about the sitting at the end of this June. I think that’s what I heard. Mr. Speaker, the Minister made a commitment to provide me the information about the cost for operating the ferries in the Northwest Territories; however, again I asked for the return date. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister commit to having this information to provide to me by the end of this sitting?

Yes, we will commit to having that to the Member by June 29th. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I thank the Minister for his answer. I guess at the end of sitting, so we can confirm is the 29th, and you’re going to get it to me by that date? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

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