Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the original question was about the meeting in Ottawa and the ERS. On that one there is going to be some ongoing discussion. Like I said, the working group is going to be set up to look into providing on-sight firefighting services but that is sometime into the future. In regard to the immediate problem of the navigation aid in Iqaluit, it is really the responsibility of NAV Canada, which is an independent corporation apart from the federal and GNWT government. For this one here, we have been on the case of NAV Canada to see whether they could speed up fixing this navigation aid. I am told that the quickest that they could do it might be the middle of next month or early next month, which is not very suitable for us. There is no problem at the airport per se in Iqaluit. It just means that the airline companies have to take a different approach when they are landing. So there is a problem now at the airport, but it is manageable and we are asking NAV Canada to see whether they can speed up their service of making sure that this navigation aid is working in the proper way that it is supposed to. Thank you.
