(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the Minister of Transportation for what he has done up to today but, Mr. Speaker, as I stated, the Pangnirtung airport is right in the middle of the hamlet. I have spoken with the Minister, before there is a major accident right in the middle of the hamlet, that we definitely have to relocate the airport. We can not wait for too many more years. I would like the Minister to see this as an emergency case. I appreciate that you have done quite a bit for Pangnirtung airstrip. They will be receiving new lights in the airstrip in 1997. I would like you to understand that before there is a major accident we have to relocate the airstrip. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. (Translation ends)
