Agreed. We’ll move along to detail. Detail for the Department of Executive starts on page 2-7, but we’ll defer 2-7 until after consideration of detail. So let’s turn to page 2-8. Is committee agreed?

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Mr. Krutko would you prefer paper or verbal?

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. Guy.

Committee has agreed. Go ahead, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yellowknife has a territorial airport, the largest one in the Northwest Territories where most product coming in by airplane lands first, often. There is a lot of talk about economic opportunities and where we are going as a Territory in the future. I think an airport like the Yellowknife Airport can play a significant role in our future, but it would require some lengthening and some work so that we can land larger planes, international planes which would allow us to bring in planes from Japan or Germany which would support tourism but it would allow larger planes...

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. We already concluded general comments. Does committee agree that we move on to detail? Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I disagree with the Minister. I think it won’t need a significant amount of time. It needs time to guarantee that the people have been heard. His argument is convenient but not particularly practical. We need to get out there, Mr. Speaker. People on the street are saying it and I don’t know how the Minister is missing it, quite frankly. It’s in the paper, it’s on the street. People are talking about it. People are concerned. A delay and giving these organizations reasonable opportunity to have the conversation with the Minister, and like I said, not necessarily agree...

Okay we are going to move along to page 12-22 and Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. I have nobody on my list. Is committee agreed that we’ve concluded general comments?
