Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the department is in the process of completing a development plan for the Inuvik and Fort Simpson airports in the 2001-02 business plans. We are in the process right now of addressing the impact on those two specific communities in relation to oil and gas activity. Norman Wells in particular has not had its airport updated since 1984.

We are now trying to address a catch up, really, with the impact on that particular airport and the needs of the oil and gas activity are being reflected in the fact that there is more and more activity at the airport. We have to develop some kind of plan as to how we are going to lay out these needs at the airport. Thank you.
