Thank you, Mr. Speaker and good afternoon colleagues. Mr. Speaker, the Pangnirtung airport, there was a study done by the Department of Transportation on this airport in 1993. As a result of that study, the cost of relocating the airstrip was very expensive. I think it was estimated at about $11 million to relocate, the least cost of relocation. As a result, the department had concluded that kind of expenditure could not be justified at that time. At the present time, the department's position is that we cannot afford to relocate the airstrip at this time. However, because of the numerous requests from other communities for work on their airstrip and because of the outstanding requests of residents of Pangnirtung, which are very expensive, and the current level does not allow us to program these projects at this time. As a department we have been trying to undertake a full review of the existing airports to determine long term improvement plans which can be supported with the existing funds that we have. At the same time, carriers and communities such as Pangnirtung are being directly involved in these studies. Thank you.
