Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That is indeed good news. After asking x number of Ministers for some help, I am glad to see we have a Minister who is willing to step in this type of an emergency situation. My follow-up question to the Minister, the training is one aspect of the fire fighting services at the airport. The second aspect is the equipment. As I said earlier, you cannot expect them to fight a fire with a water bottle. At the present time the fire equipment in Iqaluit is dedicated for the structures I talked about earlier, residential, commercial buildings, not for planes. Can the Minister tell me if there is money available to help us upgrade the equipment at the airport, so we can actually fight airport fires in that type of eventuality? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
