Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Everybody is trying to analyze the federal budget as quickly as possible and it takes a little while for it to trickle down as to how it impacts on you as an individual department. However, in my discussions with Transport Canada and in particular, Minister Young, I emphasized to him the vital importance of the community aerodrome radio station program. And while I can't say emphatically today that it's not going to be cut, I am reasonably optimistic they won't. In fact, what we have been doing is aggressively trying to pursue an increase in the level of service as was alluded to earlier by my honourable colleague from Pond Inlet. So at this time I am optimist that funding will stay in place, but we haven't had enough time to analyze in detail what will happen. We are optimistic that it will remain. Thank you.
