Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I understand the position of the Government of the Northwest Territories on the ERS issue is that if the federal government regulates that ERS is needed in Iqaluit, Inuvik or Norman Wells because of their small airport study, the territorial government because, they do not have the money to put that service back in, for example in Iqaluit, it would cost, I think, $400,000 last year, the territorial government then would not be able to afford it. They would move that the federal government would pick up the cost. Could the government tell us at this time what their position is at this meeting? If Iqaluit, as an example, at the end of this meeting was found that they should have ERS at the airport, what is the position of the government? Thank you.
