Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a few short general comments. Mr. Chairman, it's been quite a number of years that capital dollars have been difficult to come by with Transportation when we look at airports, highways, and infrastructure. They are capital intensive programs. The department has tried to make do with less and cover all areas. I think that is part of the problem as Members review that and see there are limited dollars going around. So it's good to see the department is actually taking some steps to look at alternative ways of building infrastructure, as the Minister highlighted in his opening comments. I refer to the Deh Cho Bridge proposal and they are continuing to work in that area. I would encourage him to ensure that as we go through this, we make sure that we are working through it in a very careful way. My interest is that we do it right so that when the other crossings come into play, it will be a good template to work from and I refer specifically to the Peel River and Mackenzie River crossings on the Dempster Highway. We know those are very important ones to us in our neck of the woods. I guess I would encourage the department to continue to work down that avenue.
The other, Mr. Chairman, that has come to my attention is the increased airport security, and the Minister, as well, has touched on this. From my end, I've had constituents ask what was going to be done at the airport in Inuvik, and I raised that issue with the Minister. I was informed that, for example, security services at that time were handled by airline companies and they would have to request that and have to deal with the costs of that, as well. But the Minister has highlighted there will be new demands on our airport system, both current operations and for future planning. So I'd like to know in that area what he's referring to and what more security initiatives might be put in place, and how many more airports would be affected by those. Those will be my comments at this time, anything further I'll wait for detail. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
