Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the recent responses to the community Taloyoak, I have informed the community that over the next few months the department would undertake a review of the runway length issue and that this review would be conducted in consultation with the community and the carriers, the air carriers themselves. Once all these factors are considered, we will then decide on the direction that we are going to take. As you know, Mr. Speaker, there have been a number of requests of the nature that my honourable colleague is mentioning. Not only Taloyoak has requested us to look into it but other communities. As a result of that and because of the fiscal restraint that we have undertaken in this department, we have to review each request very carefully and then we would like to determine the strategy of some sort on how to move from here. Thank you.
