Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First of all, I do want to commend the honourable Member for keeping the transportation initiatives in his area, whether it is in Cape Dorset or Lake Harbour, front and centre in terms of our agenda. I think he should be applauded for that and I'm sure his constituents will agree.

I'm glad that in some small way, we were able to help both in Sanikiluaq and Cape Dorset. We have a full program to assist both those communities.

On the issue of Lake Harbour, again, I found that the honourable Member has never asked for anything that is outrageous. He has been fair in his debates on the Department of Transportation's budget in the past. We know the cost to move a new airstrip in Lake Harbour would be very high. I've assured the Member before and I want to assure him again that we will try to fit that in somewhere. I don't know whether it will be in the life of this Assembly, or the next one, but we are certainly going to address that issue. We will try the

best we can. But, as he says, we are working under fairly restrictive fiscal conditions.

I do, however, think that there is a crushing program, not run by Transportation, but run by Public Works, which has a revolving fund. Perhaps I can discuss with my colleague, Mr. Morin, and see where we can fit the possibility of a crushing program in Lake Harbour during the next two or three years. I can't make any commitments. The only commitment I'll make would be to discuss it with the honourable Member who is responsible for Public Works to see if they can fit it into their long-term plan for crushing in these communities.

We're going to do the best we can. We're taking a hard look at Lake Harbour. It is recognized, both by myself and the honourable Member, that there is an enormous cost to building a new strip there. Hopefully, we'll be able to show it, in the long term, sometime in the capital budget down the road. That's what we're working towards at this time. Thank you.
