Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister of Transportation. The Minister may be aware of a request in Taloyoak regarding the length of the runway. According to the operational requirements, a 748 is a critical aircraft in the Kitikmeot, which has recommended a runway of 3,610 feet; that is, 3,400 feet. We also have a Lear jet based in Cambridge Bay sometimes, Mr. Speaker, used for medevacs when a situation is life threatening. There are times, Mr. Speaker, that the situation can be life threatening. According to operational requirements, a Lear jet needs 4,000 of runway. My question to the Minister is will the Minister look into the situation seriously and get back to me about the status of the request. Thank you.
