Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Sebert.
Thank you, Minister Sebert. Any further questions, Mr. Thompson?
Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Sebert.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Where to begin? I note there are a lot of cutbacks here. I note, I'm not sure what the preparations are in Inuvik this fall, but, you know, I think people really got used to having the ferry open all fall up at Tsiigehtchic on the Mackenzie River, and I just want to know what the plans are, moving forward, because a lot of people are asking back home. You know, it sure helped out with the cost of living up there, as well. So I'd like to ask the department: what's the plans for this coming fall? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Sebert.
Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister Sebert.
Thank you, Minister Sebert. Ms. Schofield.
Thank you, Minister Sebert. Mr. Thompson.
Thank you, Minister Sebert. Committee, any further questions to page 274? Legal Aid Services, operation expenditure summary, total activity, $6,252,000. Are we agreed?
Thank you, Mr. Chair. It shouldn't cost that much extra. People are already using that stretch out on the fibre optic line. It is a shame the department is not really looking into that. It could do so much for this territory.
Also, on another note, we are on highways here, so I note, I think, it was in 2008, it was supposed to come out on contract to change the culverts, I think it is Kilometre 145 just near Tsiigehtchic there as you climb the hill. It never did come out to tender or negotiate. I know that stretch of highway is up next for the widening, so what are the plans for the department...
