Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question today is for the Minister of Transportation, the Honourable Joe Handley. Mr. Speaker, some weeks ago Hay River experienced some very high water and ice conditions. As a result of that, there was some damage done in different areas of Hay River. One of them was at our Hay River airport. As most Members are aware, Hay River had the unfortunate situation of having some scheduled flights out cut down to four days a week. It was brought to my attention yesterday that a constituent was coming in on a regularly scheduled flight, and when they got to Fort Smith there was an announcement that the plane would not be landing in Hay River, and the passengers had to go from Fort Smith to Hay River by bus. The reason for that was the damage that was done by the flood in Hay River. I would like to ask the Minister, who is in charge of equipment around the airport as far as planes landing, whether it is landing lights, ILS or whatever? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
