Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Actually, we are just finishing that up here very shortly and then, once we get the business advisory committee having their first meeting and run some of this stuff through them, later on this year we'll be publishing that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Testart.

Will there be an opportunity to table this in the next sitting; not the current sitting, but in the third session of the House? Or will we have to wait until next year? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think even before we share it publicly, when we go through business plans we'll probably share them with committee beforehand. I hope that addresses the question. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Testart.

Just for the record, Mr. Chair, the business planning is scheduled for November, so I suppose we'll have to wait potentially into the New Year before we see that plan. I eagerly await it and hope that there's some nice good news for Yellowknife, because airport wait times and the quality of facilities have been a live issue in this Assembly, and they remain unresolved for the most part. Thank you very much. Nothing further.

Thank you, Mr. Testart. Would the Minister like to respond?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Economic Advisory Committee is going to be meeting on November 2nd and, probably sometime maybe in late November, that's when we'll be able to share it with committee or with Regular Members. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. The Member forgot to mention the controversy about the hours of operations of the airport.

Next I have Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In my opening comments here I talked to the Minister about the Highway No. 1 section from N'Dulee Crossing to Wrigley and the shape it is and the areas of concern. Can the Minister advise: has the department looked at these issues and is this part of the plan here, or will it be part of the plan in the future? Thank you, Mr. Chair. That's on page 46.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We'll be addressing some of these things going into the future, but some of the questions that the Member raised in the House are definitely going to be addressed through some maintenance. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. Mr. Thompson.

Thank you. I appreciate and thank the Minister for his answer. Can the Minister provide that information to myself and the community of Wrigley, when it's going to be done, when the maintenance and that is going to be done in the upcoming year? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We can pull that information together in the next few weeks and get that to the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for the commitment on that and look forward to getting that information and getting it to the communities.

The next question, I guess, and I don't know where you'd find it, but it would be in regards to the ferry and the potential I talked about utilizing, changing locations, and the Minister was pretty clear in his message in the House today during question and answer period, the cost of it. Is the Minister able to provide the capital cost of the ferry to me? I assume this is the section I would be asking the question. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to get some clarity on the question. I think his question is based on the three answers I gave him on the three options that were brought forward in the House today. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you Mr. Thompson.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I apologize to the Minister. Yes, that's correct, the three options the department has worked on. If we can get that information so I can share it with the constituents, so they're aware of what we're trying to address. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
