Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I was inclined to direct my question to the Premier since my question relates to the government's overall operations, something to do with NAV Canada, talking about new user fees to come into effect within 12 months. We all know, this is going to have a subsequent impact, Mr. Speaker, on the air travellers in the NWT, especially in the Nunavut area. I will direct my question to the Minister of Transportation, who is the related Minister in this case. When we travel within the Nunavut area for medical, education, court travel, et cetera; we travel mainly by air. We do not have any highways in the Nunavut area. My question to the Minister of Transportation is, what are we doing in this case to ensure that the northern travellers are not negatively impacted? Are we trying to slow down the process? Have we communicated with the federal government on behalf of the residents of Nunavut and the Western Territory? Thank you.
