Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my question is for the honourable Minister of Transportation. According to my information, Madam Speaker, Ptarmigan Air is planning to start scheduled service to Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak, Holman Island and Pelly Bay during the coming summer. Also according to my information, the company anticipates a load restriction for Gjoa Haven as a result of the runway being too short. I know the community would want to have the full service of the airline. The company will be using the runway, the terminal building, air traffic control and so on, therefore, the community would want to have the full service of the company.

I want to ask the honourable Minister to assure me and this House that the extension of the runway will be constructed during this upcoming summer, in order to accommodate the needed service to that community. Thank you.
