Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just to follow up on the questions raised by Mr. Krutko, I wonder if the Minister could tell us if consideration has been given to doing somewhat the same as what a Corporation would do. That is, assess the number of tickets it would buy in a year from specific airlines, and assess the amount of freight that would be carried by those airlines, and trucking companies, and shipping companies. Has the Government considered looking at negotiating with those particular corporations a bulk rate, similar to what one would do with a trucking company, for example, of a bulk rate from Edmonton to Yellowknife?
