Thank you. So that amount will stay the same over 10 years, 600 and something thousand. I guess it's the other cost that goes with the increasing costs. So that's fine. I got clarification on that one. Thank you.

I assume that's for all airports that the GNWT manages.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I wonder if I could ask a question of Yellowknife technical staff. I don't know if this topic has been covered. We are in possession of a copy of a letter that the Minister sent to the president and CEO of NAV Canada regarding the transfer of a couple of positions from Yellowknife to Edmonton, and it's dated January 24th of this year. I'm wondering if the Minister could give us an update as to whether he's heard anything about that communication. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm not sure what budget line we're referring to, but I think the letter that Ms. Lee's referring to is the letter we wrote to NAV Canada expressing concern over the relocation of some of their employees to Edmonton. We have not heard back from them and we are awaiting some response.

Thank you. Well, you know, airports, staff about airports, so sorry if I was asking it in not exactly the right line. I just want to tell the Minister that I read this information with a great deal of interest. I think Yellowknife could measure up with Edmonton on any scale in terms of skilled labour, or standard of living, or any other stuff we could offer to the employees. So we're not very happy hearing that, for any reason, that NAV Canada had to move these positions. I would encourage the Minister to keep this file on his front burner and to go to bat for us with NAV Canada. Thank you.
