Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it will take some time. I cannot really say exactly when, what time we will be able to have this information available. Mr. Speaker, we will have to look into considerations such as the present runway extension is determined based on the requirements of the carrier of choice which is the scheduled aircrafts serving the communities. At the present time, we are told by the air carriers that all runways in the NWT communities are long enough to meet the requirements of the aircraft serving them now and for the foreseeable future. Based on that and at the same time based on the fiscal restraint that we are under, we wanted to look at this issue very carefully and determine all the factors that are there. Again, we would like to continue to work with the communities that have made these requests. At some point in time in the future, once we get this information in place, we will continue with this whole process here and decide at that point in time what we are going to do next. Thank you.
