Thank you, Mr. Chair. The work that is committed on this section of highway is done through a structural assessment of all highways of the Northwest Territories. I think I mentioned in the House here today how much money has been allocated towards that, but above that, there are also the large culvert replacements on the section of highway, chipseal overlay, along with the BCP money that has been allocated towards this section of highway. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, sorry, for the misunderstanding. That is not what I meant to the Member. We can give the committee the names here right away before even the first meeting. We are just not publicly releasing the names until after the first meeting. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Department of Infrastructure works closely with all our airport maintainers and airlines to monitor maintenance operations at all our airports across the Northwest Territories. We also conduct detailed airport inspections and assessments twice a year on all airports within the Northwest Territories and every year in the Nunakput region. We just finished a detailed inspection actually at the end of July with a number of personnel who went up there. We had engineers, electricians, surface specialists, and operations managers assessing each airport in the region. Thank...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. For 2018-2019 we want to produce and stockpile material at Quarry 80.6; resurfacing and distress repair work from kilometre 137 to 155; and drainage improvements on 137 to 155, as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The engineering department is looking at putting a sidewalk on the Explorer side. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's probably a fairly technical challenge to do that up in the Northwest Territories, but all I can say is, once we have the engineering done and the design of it, we can have a look at what the challenges and possibilities of doing that in the Northwest Territories are. I think that would cause a significant challenge for some contractor to be able to fulfil that in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'm not sure what the question was, but we've committed. We went out to all the regional centres. We just concluded with Behchoko here the other day. Once we develop a "what we heard" document we will be reaching back out to everybody.

It's a six-step process, and we will be also going out to section 35 consultation on this, as this has the potential of affecting Aboriginal rights and we're going to make sure we're not doing that. We will be reaching out to all of them at the same time.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to get some clarity on the question. I think his question is based on the three answers I gave him on the three options that were brought forward in the House today. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I believe so. That is the spot. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Highway No. 6 will be completed in 2018-2019. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
