Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the government of the Northwest Territories represents every person in the Northwest Territories. I did not imply that I am asking for favouritism. All I am saying is there are 5 million litres worth of fuel sold directly in the Iqaluit Airport. Maybe we could use some of this money to offset this training. This is a serious safety concern in Iqaluit because our volunteer fire department does not have the equipment to fight a fire at the airport. They do not have the training. There is a liability issue here. We have already had a crash of a CF-18 in my community. We had a 747 Jumbo Jet come down. Did that happen in any of these other communities? No. My question to the Minister is, can he tell me how I can generate revenue or off-site sales or something, so we can provide the extra $260,000? That is what I am asking.
