As I stated, that’s how the system is set up and if the Member is aware of any issues, I’d gladly sit down and discuss them with him. But as far as I know, the 1-800 is working to suffice the service at the airports.

I forgot what I said, no.

---Laughter

I said, yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’ll have to check on the department, on what we can share with the public and what we can share with the committee and we’re willing to share anything we can through committee or through public release of documents or tabling documents in the House.

Again, I will have to check with the department and see where that’s at, see if we’re able to share that document as it has a bunch of detailed information, I believe, in it that I’d have to check on.

I’ll have to check with the department and I know we’ve submitted one on the Mackenzie Valley Highway and see where that’s at. I believe it’s going back and forth with the federal government. I will endeavour to check on to it and get back to the Member on that.

Any 24hour issues that they may have with some of these airports, there’s always a duty manager on location in Yellowknife. There’s a flight supplement number, which could be accessed through a 1877 number, which I can provide to the Member anytime they want. Airline companies, I suspect, are the ones that are having these issues, and they’re probably well aware of this number, but we’ll gladly share that with the Member anytime he wants.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Friday, June 24, 2016, I will move that Bill 7, An Act to Amend the Revolving Funds Act, be read for the first time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think I missed the very last part of the Member’s question, if it was a 1800 number, but we take all airport safety and issues seriously in the smaller communities. If you cannot contact a local contractor, I suspect you can get right hold of the Department of Airports, which would be our local director.

It’s early days for the working group on the Bathurst and other boreal caribou and other things as such, so I suspect that those conversations will be taking place and we’ll be bringing forward the commitments and ideas that these committees bring forward. I cannot tell the Member as of yet if we have any plans set aside for this type of thing.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess I’d have to clarify the Member’s question, if it’s related to boreal caribou or the Bathurst herd. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

But I’m not trying to be rude to the Member, but we do have the 1-800 number and that’s the mode of communication between the airports and the regional centre.
