Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is the Minister or the department, willing to go into the community of Tsiigehtchic and sit down and discuss this issue with them to see if they can come to a way of resolving this issue by working out some alternative? I do not think we are asking for a permanent airport, but we are asking to identify an area where they can use a piece of road or a piece of cut line for an emergency if it came to a point where you had to get a plane in there to get someone out. The only ability they have right now is trying to land on the ice when it is just after freeze up or after break up, but that is dangerous because you do not know what the conditions of the ice are. Will the Minister assist the community by holding a meeting to discuss this issue with the community so they can try to identify a solution to the problem?
