I appreciate the Member's statements, and I certainly do recognize, coming from an eastern Arctic community, the vital importance of air safety and the absolute necessity to try to ensure that we get good, accurate, timely weather reports, particularly if you come from Rankin Inlet. So they tell me anyway.
Last year, the honourable Member did raise the issue about Pond Inlet, and I believe Clyde River was the other community where there had been a cutback. I believe at that time it was 40 hours work. Currently we are trying to negotiate for 65 hours, I believe. I stand to be corrected. I'd have to check my notes. We are trying to increase the hours of these CARS programs in the eastern Arctic communities that have them. These discussions have been going on for some time now. At this time, no, we have not come to a satisfactory arrangement, but we are still working on it very hard for that part of the country. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
