Thanks, Mr. Chair. Can the Minister just give us a brief update of where we are with the development of 911? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Considering that it is late, I am going to try and do my best, and Ms. Eleanor Young might expand on it. 911, we have worked with the stakeholders. We are now in the process. We have made an arrangement to work with the Med Alert team, so we can co-chair space with that. We are working with municipalities at this time to try to make sure that they have the infrastructure or the means to be able to identify people. Dial plans, I am going to let Ms. Eleanor Young speak on that one. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. To extend on that, we are working with the stakeholders to create the local dial plans in each community so that we have the structure in place for the dispatch system. We are working on a legislative proposal for the 911 legislation and preparing to go in front of the CRTC later this year with regard to the charge model. As mentioned in the opening comments, all of those pieces, we do anticipate to come in to play where we will be hiring staff later this year and operational by the summer of 2019. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So when might we expect to see a bill come into the House to implement 911? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think we are all tired at this point. We are preparing to bring the legislative proposal forward this month. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. That was my next question: when could we expect to see an LP? When would we expect a bill to come into the House? Are we looking at September or October, then? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is correct, subject to process, of course. There may be glitches, depending on presenting it to standing committee and getting the draft done up. If it all follows through, it should be in September or October. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that. I am sure we are all going to look forward to getting that bill, and committee will do its work. I understood that the original plan was to partner with the city and run the dispatch response part of the 911 service in collaboration with the city using the fire hall here in Yellowknife. It sounds like the plan has changed. Can the Minister just tell us how and why that change took place? Thanks, Mr. Chair.
