Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I stated in my Member's statement, current, up-to-the-minute weather forecasts are an absolute necessity for our hunters, trappers and fishermen. Any unforeseen changes in weather may result in life-threatening situations for these people.
Could the Minister responsible for Transportation please explain what prompted the government's decision to take over the contract from Nav Canada, in light of the fact that public weather forecasts would no longer be available to the general public from their local airports? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
