Statements

Written Question 58-19(2): Frank Channel Bridge Replacement

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Frank Channel Bridge Replacement. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for Infrastructure. The Frank Channel Bridge is a critical piece of infrastructure for the Northwest Territories, providing access to the Tlicho communities, Yellowknife, and the mines in the Slave Geological Province region.

I have four questions:

Can the Minister provide a detailed breakdown of the additional costs identified for the Frank Channel Bridge Replacement Project?

Can the Minister provide a detailed breakdown of funding already committed or budgeted by the Government of the Northwest Territories, and/or committed budgeted by the federal government?

Can the Minister provide a copy of the last structural assessment completed on the Frank Channel Bridge?

Can the Minister provide a detailed contingency plan for continued operation and maintenance of the Frank Channel Bridge if construction of the replacement is delayed?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
