Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in Hay River and Fort Smith where for quite a few months now, these airports no longer have commercial suppliers of aviation fuel on site. As a result of changes to the storage facilities and the cost of changing the storage facilities, the department had requested proposals for suppliers to come forward. There has been very little movement in that area. However, in Fort Smith the department is negotiating with one of the proposals. We will continue to try and reach some sort of agreement there. Yes, I could commit publicly here that the department will work cooperatively with the people that we are negotiating with. We certainly would like to see a private industry established service levels in both communities. I think that is the goal that we are trying to reach. However, if we are unable to reach any type of an arrangement, then we will have to look at other options. Thank you.
