Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister has indicated that they will be looking at these new flights and their effects. Could I also ask the Minister to convey our concerns to the rest of Cabinet about the possible environmental effects of up to 150,000 more flights going over the Northwest Territories per year? What type of environmental effects are there from all that fuel that is being burned and coming down perhaps onto the Northwest Territories rivers, lakes and the plant life? We do know that the plants around here take a lot longer to grow because we have a shorter growing season, so could the Minister also convey our concerns here and that they will do a check as well? Thank you.
