Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, Mr. Speaker, I am bringing up our Sachs Harbour airport. As far as I am concerned, this is a good-news story because of the work that is going to be done there this coming summer. With the Minister of Infrastructure, this could be a great news story if she just says yes. The mayor of Sachs Harbour, Mr. Speaker, has written me to ask me to bring forward in the House if we could have the Hamlet of Sachs Harbour be able to do the work that is required on that contract this coming summer. They want a chance to do the work that is being planned on the upgrades at the airport. It includes ditch maintenance, services, and repair; the removal of water from ponds; grading to promote better drainage and safety of the aircraft that are coming in, supporting the community.
The hamlet worked for the GNWT airports division, and the airport was built in 2000. They have worked to this day, 2021. They want to continue this partnership, Mr. Speaker. They have the equipment and the ability to finish this project using local people and their own equipment. This will save our government money. It will be creating jobs in Sachs Harbour for local people. It's a win-win situation for the hamlet. Mr. Speaker, we have to promote our local hamlets to try to provide work, and I am really hoping the Minister does say yes when I will have questions for her at the appropriate time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
