Minister’s Statement 302 – 4(3): Iqaluit Airport Project (Ell-Kanayuk) |
Hon. Monica Ell-Kanayuk (interpretation): Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
Welcome, Nunavummiut. |
I welcome this opportunity to rise today before the Members of this House to update them on the Iqaluit International Airport Improvement Project. |
As the members are aware, this project will be drawing to a close soon, after four years of construction and several more years of planning and procurement. |
Operations are scheduled to move to the new terminal building on August 9 of this year. |
Many of the members will depart from the current location and when they come back to Iqaluit, they will arrive at the new location. |
Mr. Speaker, I would like the members to know how pleased I am with this project. Naturally it makes me happy that it is actually going to be completed on time and on budget, but it pleases me in other ways as well. |
I believe that the success of this project demonstrates what this territory can accomplish. |
This brought together the resources of several departments, including EDT, CGS, and the departments of Finance and Justice. |
With the efforts of these departments, we have leveraged funding from the federal PPP Canada program into a beautiful building and a greatly improved facility that will serve Nunavummiut well for decades to come. |
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
>>Applause |
Speaker (interpretation): Thank you. |
