Mahsi, Chair. I'm just curious to know the airport operations are all under GNWT. I'm just wondering about the Behchoko; or not just Behchoko, but the four outlying Tlicho communities when it comes to operators. Where do they fall under? Are those positions transferred to the Tlicho community government? I don't see any staffing in the Tlicho section, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the airport at Behchoko is a private airport. We don't have any employees that are involved with that airport. However, on the other three airports -- Gameti, Wekweeti and Whati -- we have contract employees on those airports and they work for us on a contract basis.

Mahsi, Madam Chair. It's good to know that there's a contract out with airport services, I guess operators in the communities. So there is one in Wekweeti, because I'm just getting calls from Wekweeti saying there's no operator in the community when it comes to the airport services. So if I hear you correctly, there is one on a contract basis with Wekweeti to provide the services at the airport. Mahsi.

I'm just trying to get clarification who we have the contract with. We have a contract with the community government in all three communities for maintenance. We don't have a contract with any specific individual.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Just following in line in regard to the Beaufort-Delta, I'm going to ask the Minister, I understand that the contract for the airport runway in Tuk has been issued out to a local person. Is that correct, Madam Chair?

Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, we did contract the services for that airport out. It went through a public tender and a local company was...We signed the contract with a local company to do the maintenance.

Thank you, Madam Chair. In regard to personnel working on the airstrip in Tuk, is that taken care of by the contract or by government? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I didn't quite catch the question. Could I ask the Member to repeat that?

Yes, thank you, Madam Chair. My question is, since it's been contracted out by a local contractor, I'm just wondering is the contractor paying the individual, or is the government paying? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam, as in any contract, we pay the contractor and the contractor then hires and pays their own employees.

Thank you. Last question, Madam Chair. Is government saving any money in contracting out the services? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, in this situation, we are not expected to save any significant amount of money; however, the cost savings may be in the area of putting the responsibility over of the facilities and equipment, so there may be some cost savings in that area. But overall, we're not expecting anything significant.
