Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just to follow up on Mr. Lafferty's questions about the hidden resources, I just want to know about the aboriginal content of the new office in the North Slave region. If there are any affirmative action or P1 positions, what positions do they hold? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, the information I have suggests aboriginal is 56 percent and non-aboriginal, 44 percent.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It would be helpful to get a breakdown of the positions they hold. Is it management, labourers or in between? What positions do the aboriginal content make up? Fifty-six percent is quite high, even for this department. I am just wondering if there are casual positions that brings up that percentile and if so, by how much? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, do I understand the Member wants questions to all the department or just the North Slave?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am referring to the newly created administration region for Transportation, North Slave. That is the office I am talking about. I am not talking about highways. I am not talking about airports. I am talking about the new administration region that the department created in the North Slave region. I understand they have taken people from the south side of the lake and so on. I would just like to know the aboriginal content of that new office.

When can I expect that information, Mr. Chairman? It would be nice to have that information while we have the Minister and his senior staff in the seat. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, it will take us a couple of days to put this together for the Member, but we will supply him with the information.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If we have to wait a couple of days, we have to wait a couple of days. It is unfortunate. You would think the department would be ready with this information, since it is not information that has never been asked of them. We continuously ask about the aboriginal content of employees and positions they are in, et cetera. I think we do this to try to get the number of aboriginal people within the public service and to move them up within the management ranks. However, if we are going to have to wait, I guess we are going to have to wait. I would just like to express my displeasure in having to wait for that information. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to get into a different area. It is the area of airports. I asked a question earlier today and we were waiting for that area of activity within the budget. My question was how many flights per day does one airport have to have within legislation before they require mandatory safety crews, fire crews, et cetera? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, I believe this is a standard set by Transport Canada. I will ask Mr. Vician to respond.
