Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's the way the title is, but that is actually the CAP program. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Well, I can probably reassure the Member the money's probably not going to be there because of the pressure on the system.

I'd love to see the Mackenzie Valley road all the way from Wrigley to Tsiigehtchic myself. This has been an ongoing project since the 1970s. I think we're possibly, possibly, closer than ever to maybe securing some funding from the federal government on this initiative through the National Trades and Corridor fund. Hopefully, we're going to hear on that by the beginning of April on the first $2 billion of that ask. Our application is incremental on six...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess one of the things around this program is we get oversubscribed with these projects. We know quite in advance how much money has been asked for. As things move forward, for some reason or not, some of these communities don't come forward after they get their projects approved, so we tend to re-evaluate and move some projects up the list if some people don't get their project to the table and done in the time that they are allotted. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

We have it straight here. The non-aeronautical fees are things like parking, leasing, and AIF, Airport Improvement Fee. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. First, a couple of things. That's not a commitment that I'm making right now as part of the budget process to do this information. That's something I want to work with the Member on and we'll have a look at this. I'm going to need a couple of things from the Member. I'm going to need the names of, we can talk to people about getting some TK information from them to help us assist for that.

The other point I want to make about the comments there is that we put a cat train trail there. That is totally different than a public road to be open to the public. That would...

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I have mentioned in the House, NGOs can't be BIP'ed unless they have a corporate entity on their side. I have answered this question in the House already. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 22)

That is correct, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 22)

Yes, that is correct. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 22)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. One of the reasons and the biggest concern we haven't ever looked at doing this, the last time the department has looked at it, is the major safety concerns out there with the pressure ridges. Changing conditions and climate changes have probably made that road, if we did put a road out there, very unpredictable and very costly to operate. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
