Mr. Chairman, I want to assure the Member and the public that there is absolutely no intention to spring anything on anybody, no intention to use this as a way of offloading anything onto someone else. Mr. Chairman, my view is that we have a very strong economy. There are a lot of things happening in the Territories. International polar flights have become much more common. I think we have an opportunity in the Northwest Territories to capitalize on some of these things. It may be long term, we could be talking 10 or 15 years from now, but it's never too early to take a look at what the alternatives might be. I don't have a preferred alternative in mind. I have struck a panel with a good cross section of stakeholders at the airport who are looking at that. They will be reporting back to me with some recommendations at the end of May. But there is no preconceived plan here. We're simply looking at what the options are, what the possibilities are, given the strength of our economy and our fairly bright future as a northern airport.
We will not spring anything on anybody. We have roughly 24 employees at the airport. If there was going to be a change in governance at the airport for whatever good reason, then we would certainly make sure that there's lots of notice. But I don't see anything happening quickly or overnight or anything like that. We want to make sure that the rights and benefits that our employees enjoy are not unduly jeopardized in any way. But clearly we don't want to spook anyone either. This is looking at the options. I'd like to wait until we have the recommendations from the panel, and then we'll certainly share those with the Members at that time and see where it seems to be pointing us. It may very well be that the recommendations will stay with the current model and nothing changes. Thank you.
