Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to inform the honourable Member that this government is not directly involved, at any level, with the scheduling of routes and flights of air carriers. The air carriers themselves -- in this case, Calm Air, First Air and Skyward -deliver air services on a commercial basis. If the traffic warrants it and passengers and freight on a particular route is enough to pay for services, the carriers are likely to offer that service in this area. In this case, the carriers may not know that a potential for a new market exists in this particular area.
The proposed Repulse Bay, Pelly Bay and Igloolik route is interesting because the three communities are located in three different regions. I would like to recommend that the three municipalities inform the different air carriers and see if their carrier is interested in introducing this service. The important point is that the carriers and passengers should start talking to one another about this service they want. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
