Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Minister also referred to use of satellite navigation systems as a possible remedy to assist those who are not quite experienced in their navigations on the land. I believe to some degree, she may have been referring to emergency locator beacons which are now available to the public. As we have found out over the past two years, this could get very expensive in responding to these emergency locator beacons. If some plan is not in place, who is going to pay? You can push all the buttons you want, but nobody is going to come unless somebody knows who is going to pay. We have already had a situation in the Beaufort this past summer where there was somebody who pushed a button and called for emergency location. I believe the RCMP responded with a charter. When they found out the guy was not in any emergency, they refused to pay for the charter, and suggested the charter aircraft owner collect from the guy that pushed the button. Unfortunately, the guy that pushed the button was Scandinavian, not a Canadian. As soon as he got back to the mainliner, he was back off to Scandinavia and the poor guy in Inuvik was left trying to find out who was going to pay for this. It has to be taken into consideration.

I would still like to emphasize, Mr. Chairman, I am getting more and more concerned with the amount of responsibilities and duties this department is taking on, bearing in mind, the amount of manpower they have. Like I said, I am not sure we are not overworking these people and they are going to burn out on us. Then, we will have nobody. I am concerned in that manner. Thank you.
