Madam Speaker, I would like to address this question to Mr. Todd, who is very popular today. In the 1960s, Madam Speaker, a tremendous number of pilots made their reputations supplying the north. One of the innovations was the non-directional beacons so that when they got to a place, they knew they were where they were supposed to be. The other one was the development of tundra tiles by Mr. Weldy Phipps from Resolute Bay so when they got to that beacon at least they could land on these large, inflated tiles.

But, I'm told by my pilot friends that the biggest innovation that would help northern transportation and affect the lives of many of our people who spend many hours in the air, is the development of a global positioning system. I would like to ask the Minister, I know this is an area where we don't have all the jurisdiction that we would like to have, but to what extent is the global positioning system now being used in the air transportation industry in the Northwest Territories?
