Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yesterday I was talking about some work that I think the department should be looking at in the area of the impending closure of the municipal airport in Edmonton. I listened to the Minister’s response yesterday and she said it could take up to three years. You might be right, Madam Minister, but it could happen sometime this year and I think we need to be heavily involved in the planning of that. We have to get a better understanding of what the impact is going to be on our budget going forward and I’d like to see that work begin in earnest.

The other issue that I wanted to bring up, and we talked a little bit about it yesterday, was the rapid repatriation protocol between our government and the Government of Alberta. Mr. Chairman, I guess I’m struggling to understand or figure out how we are planning for the more rapid repatriation of patients from Alberta hospitals back to the Northwest Territories and the corresponding cost associated with that happening. It runs the full gamut, everywhere from janitorial services to food services, the nursing component, other staff, doctors’ services. There’s going to be costs incurred across the board not only at Stanton but in Inuvik and Hay River and Fort Smith. What work are we doing upfront on this? I’d like to see it somewhere presented in the budget. The budgets don’t seem to be going up. Are we just going to be rolling with the punches as they come, Mr. Chairman?
