Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in regards to the question and in regards to the weather stations in Iqaluit and in Yellowknife, that particular situation is the responsibility of the federal government. I think the department has expressed concern about that, but the only concern that we have in the Department of Transportation is in regard to air transportation in this case. NAV Canada is responsible for the weather for providing it to the aircraft industry, and the coast guard is providing weather and ice conditions to the ships. That is our role in this government as Department of Transportation and, in regards to the overall weather station, it is an Environment Canada issue. We could pass on our concern to the federal government, the department that is responsible for that. Thank you.
