Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I, too, cannot vote in support of this motion. As the honourable Member from Yellowknife South has indicated, we are waiting for information as to whether this work can wait until later. We have heard that it is more expensive to let paved runways deteriorate, than try to do it later. I think, at this time when we are trying to save money, it is not wise to let a runway deteriorate so it will cost us more later, if we do not have to. At this time, I cannot just agree to spread the money around to smaller communities without sufficient information to make a decision on, Thank you.
