Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the deputy minister responding, but from that response I have a hard time figuring out exactly where these planes will be located. We heard Fort Smith at the Fire Centre. We’ve heard maybe Yellowknife. We’ve heard many other bases throughout the Northwest Territories. There was some mention that this would possibly go to an operator base, whether or not it would be RFP’d or not I didn’t quite hear that and that there would be an operations and maintenance contract associated with that, again not knowing if this would be an RFP type scenario. So I might want to get clarity with that. But in addition to that I’d probably like to ask, we know that the primary manufacturer, I believe it’s Conair, and Conair, by virtue, will control the parts and the availability of parts and possibly some of the proprietary rights around these new 802s. What security or reassurance do we have that potential people, organizations or companies will have that if we do go down this route of purchasing these 802s that Conair will play nice in the sandbox, so to speak, and work with northern contractors? What reassurances do we have that this will indeed transpire?
Again, if we can get some clarity as to this future company or companies that would be involved with the O and M, the location of fleet. Is this indeed something that will be an RFP, or has the Minister or department predetermined where these planes
are going to be stationed once they do arrive in the Northwest Territories? Thank you.
