Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Transportation, and I'm pleased to hear his very upbeat announcement today about the completion of the agreement with the federal government for the transfer of Arctic A airports, specifically that current levels of service will be maintained. The Minister knows that I have been concerned about the vital emergency response services at the lqaluit Airport and, for that matter, other airports in the territories.
With reference to the lqaluit Airport, I would like to ask the Minister, Mr. Speaker, does this agreement and his announcement today mean that the emergency response services now in place at the lqaluit Airport will be maintained and funded at the same level under the agreement that has been negotiated? Thank you.
