It probably depends on the issue, the concern that the people will have, so you can actually go through the regional person or come right directly to headquarters.

The Member is right. We have taken a position on the calving grounds on the Nunavut side of the border, but that is where the calving grounds are. On the Northwest Territories side is the range areas of the herds and many herds. Like I’ve said, we’re working with all the Aboriginal groups and stakeholders in this and across many departments and we’ll be developing something coming forward in the plan for the Bathurst and I will be bringing this forward at some time to this Assembly.

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...

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.

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.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too would like to recognize two Pages today, Kaitlyn Ring and JD from Hay River. I’d also like to thank all the Pages for their hard work this week, especially with extended hours. Also Myrtle Graham, my CA for assisting with the Pages there this week. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Yes, I will get it to the Member by June 29th, end of business day. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

By the end of this session, June 29th.

I’m not sure if I could commit to have that done by end of session. I’ll have to check with the department and see when we will be applying that.
