(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have a question I will be directing to the Minister of Transportation. I will be directing two questions to the Minister. Madam Speaker, the Cape Dorset airport construction is going to take place in 1994. I just wonder if this is true. I want to find out if the construction of the airport is deferred to 1995. I wonder if I can get an answer to this. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. There are actually two developments taking place in Cape Dorset. One is a requirement for the upgrading of the airstrip, some of the lighting and some of the runway improvements. It's my understanding that that will take place this coming summer. There is also, in the capital budget, I think about $1.3 million or $1.4 million for a new air terminal building. I want to assure the honourable Member that some of the technological work will be done this year. Subject to approval by the Legislative Assembly, the new air terminal building will be built in 1995. So in 1994, there is going to be work on the airstrip, and in 1995, a new terminal building. Thank you.
