Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the honourable comrade just told me no again. Mr. Speaker, my question is this. I have to clarify, you cannot compare apples
and oranges. The phasing out of the ERS in Iqaluit had nothing to do with the budgetary response of this government. The ERS was cut in Iqaluit because federal regulations said we did not need it. The federal regulations do not take into account, the geographic location, the transportation hub that is Iqaluit. We do not have any roads. All we have is an airport. I know we do not have the six million passengers or whatever level we need, but we also do not have the fire fighting equipment if it is phased out. So, my question to the Minister is, he is talking about bringing it up through the committee level, talking it here and talking it there. That is great, that is fine and wonderful, but it does not give me the help I need, the help my community needs.
I am asking the Minister, what course of action should I take so this government can help me with the five million litres of fuel that is sold by this government in Iqaluit to generate the extra revenue so we can, at least, find the $260,000 to fight the fires? I know the Transportation Minister is helping me here with this but we have to find these funds. I am trying to find it from on-site in Iqaluit, not take it from anywhere else, but take it from there. Maybe he can try to help me with this.
