Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not have the particulars on the current regulation. However, the standards for airport firefighting are fairly high in terms of the new provision that was proposed by the federal Minister of Transport. Those do apply to the larger airports such as Yellowknife, Inuvik, Fort Smith, Fort Simpson, Hay River. The airport firefighting response at smaller airports is set out through the airport regulations. In that context, it is required that there be an emergency plan for the airport that is filed with Transport Canada. So in essence, there is a response for every airport, every one of the twenty-seven. However, the nature of response varies depending on the frequency and the number of landings at the airport in a given year. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
