Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, my question is in regard to airports and in relation to services available to the public. In particular, I know the Minister is well aware of the concern that I have as it relates to the availability of aviation gas in the small communities in my riding. I know the Minister has been working on this particular concern. He has the pleasure of riding in an aircraft with five-litre cans of gas in the back, so I know he is aware of the concern. My question is, is the department seriously considering whether or not they can have aviation gas made available in the smaller communities to serve the general public? Mr. Chairman, if I could elaborate a little bit, I believe that this type of service available would increase the public access to the smaller communities. In particular I know that even my home community of Tuktoyaktuk does not have airplane fuel available other than turbo fuel, so I am again bringing this up to the Minister. I want to know if he is prepared to respond to this particular concern I have.
