Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess it's splitting hairs, but, again, we're going into this and once you start the renovations at the airport -- and they've already been started, Madam Chair -- you enter into the full expenditure and you also have to take into account the cost recovery of that expenditure. I don't think the Minister's response was good enough, in my mind, Madam Chair, in terms of what Cabinet's rationale for proceeding with a project that's $11.2 million and, by anybody's best guess, could go off the rails quite easily as other capital projects have and end up costing the government $13 million, $14 million, $15 million, and then is the cost recovery of that money going to be born on the backs of the travelling public? Again, I'll draw the Minister's attention to the fact that there is no public debate. None. It costs enough in terms of travelling out of Yellowknife by air.
Absolutely, it's very expensive. You can fly from Edmonton to Europe for the same amount of money that it cost to travel from Yellowknife to Edmonton. If we are going to increase that cost at all, I think that's a huge step, Madam Chairperson, in terms of people's affordability on travelling out of Yellowknife, or even travelling into Yellowknife, and I don't think it's fair to the public that this debate never had a chance to be discussed in public. It's not the way things should have happened, and again I'm disappointed that Cabinet would go down the road of full cost recovery and FMB would go down the road of full cost recovery on this $6.6 million without any type of public discourse on this issue.
