(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First of all, I would like to state that we are back here in good health again. Mr. Speaker, I would like to state that this winter, in 1996, I have already spoken on it. I am still going to be presenting this to you in 1997, especially Pangnirtung from my riding, that they definitely need a new air strip in the community. Pangnirtung has different aircraft coming in at different times and the air strip is right in the middle of the community. As I have stated before, the territorial government and the federal government will have to look into this in the very near future because Pangnirtung definitely will be needing a new air strip. This year, I will be asking the Department of Transportation to do a survey or review on the Pangnirtung airport to make it better.
Also, Mr. Speaker, I would like to state that Pangnirtung Hamlet mayor has stated that when they do get an air strip, that they would like to see the air strip on the shoreline of the community, and this is what we are recommending. I will be working quite hard on this and also I will be asking the Minister of Transportation about this later on. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.(Translation ends)
