Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to follow up on a couple of my colleagues’
questions. Just on this most recent one, I know the Minister is aware of my thoughts on this. I was disappointed that the contract didn’t go out for RFP when it came due and that there was a decision made to extend that. I don’t know if there was an additional cost to that or not.
I think one of the issues that we’re raising is often we have small airlines that are based in our smaller communities, but without support they’re not able to maintain their services like they would otherwise be able to. Of course, since they’re already there, the service is better, the potential service is considerably greater. I don’t have any questions. I think my colleague Mr. Yakeleya asked the questions there, but I do want to underscore the same concern. I’ll look forward to this coming out in April and see what we can do on that front.
I also wanted to follow up on Ms. Bisaro’s question. I note under grants and contributions there is a difference of $70,000, and that is explained on the following page with a review of the Integrated Service Delivery Model that was done by the Hay River authority. Here it says that review was completed. My two questions are: Are we talking about the same review, or was this a separate review than the one that the Minister and Ms. Bisaro talked about? And can the Minister encapsulate the results of what was the main message we learned from that review?
