Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transportation. Madam Speaker, we've heard that the Department of Transportation is negotiating with the federal government for the takeover of Arctic A airports. I think, given the pronouncements we've heard from the federal government on proposed cutbacks to airports across Canada, that this is probably a very good idea to pursue at this time.
My question has to do with consultation. This government has spoken often about consultation. I know that the Minister, in particular, has a stated policy of politics of inclusion. So I understand that there's been some extensive consultation in areas like Cambridge Bay -- I hear that departmental officials met with the hamlet, local transport people, KIA, NTI and the chamber of commerce. I would just like to ask the Minister, has that level of consultation taken place in all the other communities like Yellowknife, Hay River, Simpson, Iqaluit and so on?
