Yes, Madam Chair. Thank you. Madam Chair, I am here to present the Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 1, 2020-2021. The supplementary estimates document proposes an increase of $28.7 million, comprised of the following items:
- $10 million to fund environmental assessment and planning work to be completed in 2023-2024, to inform the potential construction of an all-weather road from Highway No. 4 to Lockhart Lake within the Slave Geological Province Corridor. Of this amount, 75 percent will be funding by the Government of Canada's National Trade Corridors Fund;
- $10.6 million will be for surface structures adaptation for climate change resilience at the Mike Zubko Airport in Inuvik;
- $3.5 million will be to increase fuel storage capacity to mitigate impacts to public and essential services;
- these two projects are funded 75 percent by the Government of Canada's Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund; and
- $4.6 million for the Mike Zubko Airport runway extension design, which is 100 percent funded by the Department of National Defence.
That concludes my opening remarks. I would be happy to answer any questions that Members might have.
