Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, before the New Year in November, I had opportunity to travel to the High Arctic. I was in Resolute Bay as well as Cambridge Bay, and in Cambridge Bay that concern was addressed to me by residents up in the Kitikmeot area there. Phoning a 1-800 number and getting a recording from Edmonton is not very suitable. It was expressed to me that the conditions in the High Arctic are extreme and you need visual contact with the environment to talk to the different aircraft that use the airspace in that area. So, yes, in fact I think that the department has already sent our concerns over to the federal counterpart in this area. If we have not done so, then we will do so with the support of honourable Mr. Picco and working together, perhaps we could emphasize the point of the concern that was raised here today. Thank you.
