Item 19: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters

John Todd Keewatin Central

As the honourable Member knows, I have placed some priority on marine development in areas like Taloyoak and others. I must apologize. I don't know off the top of my head where it sits in the capital budget, but I will get back to the honourable Member. I want to assure him that marine development in Arctic communities is a priority of the

department and we are endeavouring to do as much as we can with the resources we have. I will get back to him later on tomorrow, if that's okay, and advise him on the status of that wharf. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, I just want to ask with regard to the work performed on behalf of third parties on Arctic B and C airports, taking into account the federal budget, how will this revenue be affected?

Will the federal budget have any effect with regard to this revenue, taking into account that they did state they were going to cut different airports and weather stations across the north?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Everybody is trying to analyze the federal budget as quickly as possible and it takes a little while for it to trickle down as to how it impacts on you as an individual department. However, in my discussions with Transport Canada and in particular, Minister Young, I emphasized to him the vital importance of the community aerodrome radio station program. And while I can't say emphatically today that it's not going to be cut, I am reasonably optimistic they won't. In fact, what we have been doing is aggressively trying to pursue an increase in the level of service as was alluded to earlier by my honourable colleague from Pond Inlet. So at this time I am optimist that funding will stay in place, but we haven't had enough time to analyze in detail what will happen. We are optimistic that it will remain. Thank you.
