Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In communities where contracts are signed with, for example, community councils for the provision of airport maintenance, the regional staff meet on a regular basis with the community representatives with regard to the operation of the airport to ensure they are aware of the requirements under the contract and what the requirements for the airport maintenance would be.

Equipment is assessed, personnel are assessed. In addition to that, the department, through arrangements with Aurora College, provides for airport maintainer training. Those training opportunities are provided to community employees through the department and with Aurora College for ongoing airport maintenance.

Overall, the standards are very high. I can say that on our airports with community councils and hamlets in the Northwest Territories, the operation is very good. We have been very pleased with the operation at the local level. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
