Thank you, Madam Chair. I just had a couple of questions in regard to the perimeter fencing that appears here for the Norman Wells airport, $230,000 in 2004-05, and then another $180,000 in 2005-06. There is already some existing fencing at the Norman Wells airport and I am wondering what will happen after this money is expended? Are we running the fencing all around the community or what? Thank you.

Madam Chair, I don't have that level of detail. I will ask Mr. Neudorf to respond to that question.

Thank you, Madam Chair. There is a perimeter fence; well, perimeter fences around airports are required. They protect the airport from intrusions onto the runway surfaces, address safety concerns, and for incursions of animals as well onto the runway. In 2004-05 we plan to tender and award a contract for the supply of approximately just under four kilometres, or 3.7 kilometres, of wildlife fencing. We would install 1.9
kilometres of that fencing along the southwest, west and part of the north boundary during the wintertime. Then in 2005-06, carry on another 1.9 metres of the fencing there to clean that up. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I wanted to equate that to the $150,000 that is being spent in Hay River. I know they are two different airports, but is the footprint of Hay River smaller than the footprint at Norman Wells? Is there already fencing in place in Hay River and it is just a fix-up in Hay River? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, the Member is correct. It is just a different scope of work on the project. The amount of fencing that needs to be installed is different. Unfortunately, I can't find the numbers around the Hay River Airport to provide an explanation for the scope of work there.

Thank you, Madam Chair. One other question. Of the airports that we have currently in the Northwest Territories, is there a need to look at this perimeter fencing in other airports in the coming years too? Is it going to be an ongoing thing? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, it is. Based on need, we will do an assessment of requirements for fencing. We do, of course, maintain an inventory of that across all of our 27 public airports and try to approach it in some kind of a logical approach considering the funding and the resources that are available to us. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I am hoping that I can ask this question here, and I wasn't sure if I should have asked it under the operations or capital acquisition. What I am referring to are some questions in contracts that are awarded for projects like improvement to Highway No. 3, the reconstruction on Highway No. 3 for example. Is it transportation that awards those contracts for repairing 25 kilometres of road? Does Transportation put out those contracts or do you do it through DPW? Who awards those contracts? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, the contracts are put out by the Department of Transportation for the road construction.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I would assume then if the contracts are put out by Transportation, if any disputes arise with the general contractors as far as how the work is being done, they would deal directly with Transportation then. Is that the case? Thank you, Madam Chair.
