Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under airports in the Fort Smith region, Fort Resolution has an airport. At the present time, the maintenance, I believe, has been turned over to the community of that airport and the community will take it over. The traffic has reduced quite a bit in that airport. Can I get a commitment from the Minister to come into Fort Resolution to inspect the airport, as well as the Fort Resolution highway and the Lutselk'e airport?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Also, not unlike Yellowknife airport, Yellowknife airport sits on a large land base, so do the airports in our communities. Also, there is much available land near the airport and on transportation land, now the government's land. I know there is some talk in the community of trying to get the use of some of that land. Can the Minister please get from his department the minimum need of land in Fort Resolution, the minimum amount of land you need for that airport?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, before I go into the community I will be in touch with my officials on that particular issue. As well, I will probably have my officials with me when I go into the community.
