Yes, we can provide that information. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Merv Hardie continues to be the backup for all our ferry operations in the Northwest Territories, and, at present, we have no plans for it other than that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I can see the Member's point, but we're just moving these fees to just to be the average. There is a number of other airports that charge a larger amount than we're proposing coming out of the gate. Going south, that's an average of 3.4 per cent we believe will be the increased cost of travelling on your ticket, and on a northern ticket it would be approximately one per cent. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The first part is the road that takes time to open, the winter road, that would be roughly a ten to $20 million one-time hit to open up that section of the winter road from Norman Wells to Tsiigehtchic. It would probably add approximately $2 million to the O and M winter road budget. So that is the fiscal reality of it. We would love to do it, but we would have to find that money somewhere. As for the culvert question, I will default that to deputy minister Neudorf. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's a two position increase for Yellowknife. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The operation in Tsiigehtchic versus what's happening in Fort Simpson is two totally different things. One of the reasons it's in the Beau Delta is to service the propane and the liquified natural gas in the region, and the Fort Simpson region does not need to have that service delivered to them. So this is just to have a continued service to make sure there isn't an interruption to the power supply and heat supply for the town of Inuvik. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Those fees only apply to one-way out of Yellowknife. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll defer that to Mr. Neudorf.

As many people may not be well aware, the Bathurst herd has a working group that is working on a complete range plan and a recovery strategy for the herd of Bathurst.

As I’ve said, we have the emergency 24-7 number; we have our regional managers in place. If there’s any issues that are brought forward to the 24-7 number, it will work its way up the chain of command to the director, the regional superintendents who are also on constant contact with the regions, be it highways or the Department of Transportation or marine and once those issues are relayed to them, they will definitely be relayed to Yellowknife, and we would deal with it. I’m unaware of any particular issue in any of the regions related to the airports at this time and if the Member would...
