Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would say to the honourable Member that while there are no significant dollars in the O and M budget, we have managed to shift some capital dollars in terms of trying to develop marine services in the Nunavut and Arctic areas. I think the Member is correct. Over the last 10, 15 or 20 years, we have spent an average of somewhere between $15 million and $20 million on an annual basis on road development in the western Arctic. We have spent significant money historically in trying to develop airports, if you want, in Nunavut. Clearly, in the coming years with the development of airstrips in to the western Arctic where they don't already have them, such as Nahanni Butte, Deline, or whether it's improvements to those airstrips, there is going to be a requirement for a closer look at equity in terms of the distribution of the dollars and where we put our money.
I am looking very carefully at that because I concur with the Member that we don't have a road system in the eastern Arctic. The theory behind it was that you would put airstrips into it. We are developing a comprehensive airstrip program in the west now. I believe by 1998, we will have airstrips in all communities except Mr. Zoe's...

...which we are endeavouring to look at, which Mr. Zoe knows full well.
