Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, on this line I have some questions on the ERS in Iqaluit. The department had put together a good report stating that ERS was in need based on the federal regulations that take in account the number of passengers, so on, and so forth. The federal regulations do not take in account the unique geographic location of the airport or the weather because the airport is the only access to Iqaluit that we have. We do not have any roads. It serves as a hub for 13 other communities. So, my question to the Minister is, I understand in the federal regulations on the transfer of the ERS to Arctic airports from the federal government there were residuals and incremental money to pay for the ERS up to and including the year 2001. Is that correct?.
