Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As the Minister mentioned before, one of the only things that we have in the Nunavut area is the airstrips to get people from place to place. They are probably a few thousand years behind the western territories, who are very lucky to have highways to communities, winter roads and even paved highways over here. As the Minister knows, the CARS program, which I believe was the federal government's idea to assist to have the airport radios operating 24 hours a day, in some places has been cut severely, in some cases endangering airplanes to some degree. In my case, in my constituency of Pond Inlet, we used to have 24-hour radio operators who would assist the airplanes coming into the community. I understand the number of hours of operation has been cut and the airplane cannot utilize the weather reports and atmospheric conditions from the air radio operators. Mr. Chairman, I would like to know if there has been any progress in terms of getting those air radio operators to go back to 24 hours to assist airplanes? Thank you.
