Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, perhaps my question was not so much regarding the navigational aids of today's technology, but to the physical facts. Today's planes are faster, the jets and the turbo-props. Some, because of the wing span, have a longer take-off and some are not as capable of stopping as quickly on a shorter runway as they were in the past. This is what I was referring to, the length and width of the runways, and certainly with respect to Lake Harbour. Lake Harbour has a mountain on one end and the ocean and town on the other. It has a bit of a curve to it. It may not be suitable to accommodate today's airplanes and transportation needs. I am not only talking about Lake Harbour but also the other smaller communities. The mechanical parts on the ground as well, Mr. Speaker.
