Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would also like to speak in support of the motion. We had a briefing the other day from a representative of the Northern Air Transport Association, and he brought to our attention a number of very great concerns we have here in the north with respect to services that are being provided in the north, and to speak bluntly on it, our services are not equal to what services are in southern Canada, and yet our charges that are being made here are equal to what is being charged.
Now, there used to be a head tax for every passenger carried, and the change that has taken place is that it is going to be based on the size of the aircraft, and because of our great distances here, we require larger aircraft to move from one point to the other, and so northerners are penalized because of that. Additionally there is concern, for example, it was pointed out that there are a limited number of runways in the Northwest Territories that can take a 737 fully loaded on landing, so certainly we in the north here are at a tremendous disadvantage. I think NAV Canada has a responsibility to address this question. We are being placed in a situation where we are being penalized because of our location. I think NAV Canada certainly has a responsibility to hear us out. I am very pleased the Minister is going to have the opportunity to meet with the federal Minister on this. I would indulge the Minister to pay attention to our requirements. Thank you.
