Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the honourable Member is referring to an air terminal building. Mr. Chairman, before the ATB can be built in Clyde River, a new gravel pad must be built across from its current location. In Clyde River, the people have to cross the airport to get to the air terminal building. This is a problem. In order to resolve that, we need to build a gravel pad on the town side of the airport and that has to get done first. The access to the current airport terminal building crosses the runway. During review of the capital planning, the community of Clyde River was identified as having too much earthworks scheduled for 1997/98 fiscal year. Therefore, the department deferred the project start date in order to accommodate completion of other projects, which require the earthworks equipment. Just for some background, the community has the following equipment; they have one loader, two trucks, and one dozer. The short building season also contributed to the decision on a number of projects that could be started in the community. As a result of the fiscal restraint and the cutbacks that we have to undertake in this department, we move to defer the planning of the airport terminal building to '98/99, and completion in '99/2000. Thank you.
