Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Committee, we’re on court services, infrastructure investments, $867,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. I didn’t quite hear a question there, but I will allow the Minister a comment. Minister R.C. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Minister McLeod.

So, if we are doing this every so many years, I am assuming this could become a problematic issue. So we are thinking that by just repairing the drainage that we are going to avoid the so-called dips and valleys of this runway. Are there no alternative solutions other than drainage?

Does the department have a certain target number? What I mean is when the vacancy of commercial real estate gets above a certain 7 percent, does that have a negative impact on the so-called rates in that area that the government is working...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you for your wisdom there. Thank you very much. I guess when we’re talking about sections of the road, I think it’s important for us to make sure that we’re describing the right sections. People looking back at transcripts are trying to figure out what exactly does this mean. I think anyone would not disagree that the 100 kilometre stretch between here and Behchoko is probably one of the most difficult sections of highway probably in the Northwest Territories and probably one of the most well-travelled ones in the Northwest Territories, so any improvements in that...
