Mr. Chairman, we are not building any new airports. We did have all of the existing airports transferred to us a number of years ago. All of the existing ones are GNWT responsibility. It is our responsibility for maintenance, any upgrading, reconstruction that is necessary with them.

The exception to that, Mr. Chairman, is private airstrips. For example, the one at Ekati or the one at Diavik, those are not our airports. Those belong to the mining company. Thank you.
