Mr. Chairman, the assessment being currently done is with regard to the implications of the proposed regulations. When the new regulations come out, we will be able to adjust that assessment and determine the actual impact on personnel and the actual cost to the department at the airport operations. At this point in time, our current assessment is that existing staff at the airport, and I refer to existing staff at the airport, would be trained and brought up to the requirement of the regulation. This is because the response times are very strict and the capacity to have off-site personnel respond to the regulation would not permit that. As well, the training would be limited to what we consider to be almost a first level fire response. It would not be to the degree that you would have, for instance, at the Yellowknife airport. We would not have a large foam truck and that type of fire training. It would be more to respond to what we consider off aircraft fires. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
