In 2005 the cost of runway expansion for the Yellowknife Airport was estimated at around $35 million. The premise back then was to enhance or increase the opportunity for tourism, opening the corridor to opportunity. Knowing full well that this is not a capital budget, but the philosophy, obviously while we’re talking about airports, is something near and dear to a lot of Yellowknifers and people in the tourism sector. The question to the Minister is: Do we have any, is there any appetite out there that this is something that’s going to appear sometime in the near future in terms of the runway expansion for Yellowknife Airport?
