Madam Chair, this is a situation that we would be more than happy to look into. I’m under the understanding that that may not be the case, but if the Member has a specific case where in each province during transit of purchasing a vehicle they had to get a new in transit from each province they pass through, again, that is something… We will look into it. It shouldn’t happen. If it is happening, we’ll try to make sure that it doesn’t happen to anybody else. Thank you.

As I mentioned to MLA Nadli earlier, we continue to analyze this decision. We have to make sure that we know what the full implications are of that decision, and of course, the Government of the Yukon has appealed. We are following this along as it happens, and we need to pay very close attention to decisions that are made in the Yukon and how they may impact us here in the NWT.

That’s an ongoing opportunity for us. Every year we have to go through emergency planning exercises around the Northwest Territories. That is ongoing.

Yes, we have the same commitment as last year on Highway No. 7. The money will be used for priority areas.

Thank you. The Department of Transportation is not going to construct the road. I’m a politician and not Bob the Builder. Thank you.

The number of $299 million, worst-case scenario and it does go over $299 million, history shows that other funding arrangements that the territorial government has had with the feds is that they don’t fund cost-overruns. But, again, we haven’t seen a funding arrangement. We haven’t got the approvals from the federal government, so it’s really yet to be determined.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I thank the Member for bringing this to our attention last year. The wait times now in Yellowknife are in line with other wait times around the Territories. So someone shouldn’t have to wait any more than the two-week time frame to be tested. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. There is still some of that Building Canada money in the 2013-2014 Capital Plan as well as some research and development money. If the Member wants specifics, we could provide him with specifics.

It was the Environmental Impact Review Board.

Thank you. That’s a very open-ended question. The Member referenced this information. Not knowing specifically what information the Member is talking about, I can’t say yes to that. Thank you.
