Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Just with regard to airports, I was in Trout Lake in January and they brought to me a request for a snow blower. I kind of thought, okay, they probably want to advance a snow blower. But I don't see it in the capital plan here under airports, a snow blower for Trout Lake, at all. Perhaps I could ask the Minister, Mr. Chairman, what his plans are with regard to a snow blower in Trout Lake.

Mr. Chairman, we have to check to see where it is in the capital plans. At this point we have no snow blower in our capital plan, as the Member has pointed out. It's a level of detail I don't know if we have at this point. We'd have to commit to getting back to the Member.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll take the Minister's commitment to get back to me on exactly where that snow blower is. One of the members of the community was in Fort Smith and, I don't know, maybe the Minister could comment on this; there's an extra snow blower in Fort Smith that could be possibly reallocated to Trout Lake for the time being.

Mr. Chairman, my staff just informed me that they don't believe there's an extra snow blower in Fort Smith. If there was one sitting at the airport, I don't know who it would belong to, but, at this point, we don't have an extra snow blower.

Thank you very much. Maybe if the Minister could check that out as well when he's checking into the snow blower in the capital plan for Trout Lake. Can I get the Minister to do that for me? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just on the theme of the snow blower, speaking to the snow blower being replaced in the 2005-06 budget for Tulita, is it a replacement or is it a new snow blower in this particular regard? Are they replacing an existing asset? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That being said, if it's a replacement, obviously at $250,000 that's a brand-new snow blower, what happens to the old snow blower that it's replacing?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In this instance, the snow blower we're replacing is 21 years old. We will probably consider whether it's worth rehabilitating and we'll decide from there its future. At this point, we're replacing it with a new snow blower and we'll decide what we're going to do with the old one.

Then in the spirit of good will for the communities, of course, can we get a commitment from the Minister to look at maybe sending it to Trout Lake until we can deal with the Trout Lake problem down the road? An old snow blower on its last legs would probably be worth a lot more than no snow blower in Trout Lake. Could we get that commitment from this Minister to look at that problem? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, we'll take that recommendation under advisement. We don't know the actual condition at this point. I can't commit to giving it to anyone. It really depends what the situation is, whether we would take it and refurbish it and look at that avenue. It may be in a condition that we can't do that. We would have to take this recommendation under advisement.
