Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I can't explain why the security requirements have been set up as they have. I have to accept that people who have looked at the situation have decided that in order to make sure our system of air transport is safe, that they have designed things to work around it. I can only say that we, as a government, feel it's necessary to follow through with these expenditures because we think it's essential that we live up to our responsibility to keep the system safe and still ensure that people can fly from the Northwest Territories to airports that are in the national airport system.
