Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, it was a fouryear agreement. The first year was zero. The second year was zero. This year is 1 per cent, and that is reflective, I believe, in this supplemental request for $694,000, and the fourth year is 1 per cent as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, to my right I have Mr. David Stewart, who is deputy minister in the Department of Finance. To my left, I have Sandy Kalgutkar, who is the deputy secretary to the FMB. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Like I said, we will work with the contractor to come up with a completion timeline. I am sure Health will be aware of a completion timeline, and we will share that information with the Member for Nahendeh. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the construction contract is under way. Carry-over is required to meet the obligation of the federal agreement. The Member is correct. There is going to be some work done on their embankment; widening and replacement of steel pipe, culverts, and chip seal; resurfacing from kilometres 259 to 269, as well as the hospital hill drive near the airport access road. The project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2019. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the Member is correct. That is the full extent of the investment. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I don't think it will impact it. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife South, that Bill 19, An Act to Amend the Revolving Funds Act, be read for the first time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the Member is correct. The project experienced some timeline delays due to the winter road delivery. Substantial completion, though, is expected in 2019. A multi-year construction contract is in place. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the opportunity to respond. I am not going to get into a debate with the Member. We can have our debate off the floor. There are a couple of things. This is not billions of dollars. We are talking $200,000 as an initial investment to put a business case together. If the business case proves that it is not feasible to do, then we will have to have a look at it.

It is $200,000. If the business case proves fruitful, then there may be a bit more investment. Again, taking advantage of the federal government's money. It is $200,000 to try to put a business case...
