Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Every year the department obtains, through a vote 4/5 arrangement, for $450,000 a year from Canadian Coastguard, DFO. That’s to maintain the various resupply facilities in the NWT. If money allows, then we do some upgrading as well.

The Minister had previously pointed out that the federal government did talk in their recent announced budget about $200 million for additional marine infrastructure. We understand it’s through harbours, and that means it’s mostly focussed on commercial fishing activities, but we are following

up on the details to see what the opportunities are for the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
