Thank you Madam Chair. I have a question here around the funding to repair surface depression on runway 10-28 at the Yellowknife Airport. It’s $3 million. Quite often we get funding from the federal government from Transport Canada in order to assist with repairs and extension and so on of our runways. I would like to know whether or not there’s any federal funding that will offset this expenditure of the $3 million. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Not at this point in time. The Department of Transportation, I understand, is
going to put in an application, but at this point this is all GNWT money. Thank you.

So, just to clarify, we’re putting in an application, so we may get some money back from the feds but we obviously won’t know that for a while. Is that correct?

Thank you, Madam Chair. I did want to follow up there. So, the $3 million is for the Yellowknife Airport and the $1.6 million for Inuvik Airport runway repair are both carried over, so these are issues that have been ongoing. Can I just find out if these are loss of permafrost-type things that are going on?

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yellowknife runway was not a carry-over, and yes, there are still some unresolved issues in Inuvik. Some of them are related to permafrost, possible underground streams and such. Thank you.

Thanks for that correction. So the Yellowknife Airport isn’t a new situation. Is that also, do we know, a permafrost thing? It sounds like it is a bigger deal than the Inuvik one. Thank you.

It is not a permafrost issue. There have been some depressions identified in one of the areas that the runway happens to be, so they are trying to sort that out. But I understand it is not a permafrost-related issue. Thank you.

Thank you for that. Just on the Inuvik one, I thought we had repaired that last summer. Did it reopen up in the same area, or is this another area of the airstrip? Is this directly related to the first one? Does it make it a larger issue? I just have to get some context on that. Thank you.

The funding is carried over to deal with the same issue in the same area. It just hasn’t been fully completed. Thank you.
