Thank you, Mr. Chair. No. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll find out. If there are no types of conflicts, certainly we can do that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We presently have a project task team who is working on this. At some point, we want to come in front of committee to present. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is one of the things that we are looking at, and the Member is onto it. There is money that they can use right now for certain things and money that they cannot. That would be the proposed legislation, once we do the review, that we would want to come back to the Assembly and change so that they could do that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, we will do that for the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The fees have remained a historical budget at our current plan. Nominee program revenue is for the application fees, and the budget is based on an estimated number of applicants in any year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Speaker, I wish to table the following document entitled "Yellowknife Airport Five-Year Business Plan 2018-2019 to 2022-2023." Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

As I have said, at kilometre 140, everything seems to be working fine. The department will continue to monitor the other culverts moving forward. We will be installing these four heat traces in the springtime at 213, and we will monitor things going forward. If this becomes something that we need to do at other sections of the highway, we will have a look at it.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This issue came up last year, particularly around the Georgetown area, and we are continually monitoring this area with overflow issues on the Dempster in a number of places, as the Member has spoken about.

In particular, right now, at kilometre 213, we have an issue. The department built a couple of berms there to hold back water, but, due to climate change this year and the warming temperatures in that region, a lot of water is coming up from underground, and we had an issue on the highway. A contractor has been out there. He has ice-plated that section to make it...

Low water rates, we did a subsidy from 2014-2016 for the hydroelectricity region for the North Slave and the government provided a one-time subsidy of $49 million for a two-year period.
