Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am glad the honourable Member asked me that question because in a recent discussion with his colleague to the left of him, he had given me an article in an aircraft magazine which talks about the new up-to-date state of the art navigation aids which are currently being considered in other parts of the world. In discussions with the deputy minister recently, I suggested we take a hard look at the need for evaluating the kinds of navigational aids we have and not only on the Arctic B and C airports, but also on the larger ones. Yes, we are looking all the time, particularly as it relates to safety. As a white knuckle flyer, I am particularly concerned about it. We are taking a hard look at this. As has been suggested by your honourable colleague, Mr. Lewis, we are looking at the new technology which is available. Hopefully in the coming months we will be able to bring a report into the Assembly and advise them of what we should do.
