Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In Sachs Harbour, this particular air terminal was deemed to be too small to meet the demands of the traffic and it was expected to be expanded. However, when the planning and the design for this expansion and rehab was cost out, it was deemed that the cost was too high for the anticipated scope of the work which would be needed. As a result, we are looking at rehab of this building and trying to extend its life for a few more years until we take another look at it. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the document given to us, the present five-year capital plan identifies $20,000 for three years. I notice that future years anticipated are zero. What is the difference?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This particular project has $20,000 for this current year and $20,000 has been put in the budget for the next two years. This is what we have in the current budget for this particular project. Thank you.

I understand the Minister is saying that future years show a figure rather than nothing. Is this correct?

The future years should be $40,000. I am told by officials that the $20,000 is approved every year. It is not part of the multi-year projects. It has to come up every year for approval. That is why it is not shown in the future years anticipated in this particular document. If you look at the five-year capital plans, it is in there. It's not in the main estimates because it has to be approved every year.

Mr. Chairman, I have a question for the Minister regarding the Fort Smith region under buildings and works. It is regarding the new airport development in Snare Lakes. What does this refer to, what type of work?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This particular program is the finishing up of the new airport development in Snare Lake. This is to finish off cleaning up the site and also finishing off the air terminal facility in that area of the airport.

I had a delegation in from Snare Lake this afternoon. They were trying to discuss something to do with the road connecting to the airport. It's not wide enough. They want to ask the Minister if the road could be widened and if there's anything anticipated in the budget for future years.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This particular new airport development project does not include the widening of the road. What the honourable Member is asking is something which is separate and different from this particular project. This seems to be something which we should deal with with the honourable Member. This should be discussed to see exactly what the community would like to do with regard to the road. Thank you.
