Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I think I provided most of the information that the Member has asked for. In regards to the Fort Smith airport, it would have been paved if Transport Canada had retained its

services. They would have paved it in 1996/97. Since this was transferred to us last year, we deferred it until this year. Yes, there is jet service, I was told five days a week, but now I am told it is six days a week. That is the correction here. If we leave the air strip to deteriorate any further, it is going to cause problems for safety and aircraft take off and landings. It will cost more in the future to repair, but this is part of our commitments during the Arctic A transfer. Thank you.
