Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the federal Minister of Transport has committed to consult with the Government of the Northwest Territories on any future changes to the air navigation services at Our northern remote sites. NavCan is a commercialized company that is going to be taking over from Transport Canada in the operation of air navigation service, and they will assume this commitment.

Mr. Speaker, rather than urging the federal Minister to invoke the veto provision, the territorial Department of Transportation would prefer to convert the flight service stations to the community air radio stations, as has been successfully done in other airports in the North such as Tuktoyaktuk, Cambridge Bay and Kugluktuk, which is Coppermine. In terms of local training and employment benefits, CARS -- the community air radio stations -- can be an even more attractive program than the flight service stations. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
