Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, may I encapsulate the last phrase that Mr. Braden was sort of asking or ranting about, which is we are a unique market and if I can encapsulate that by then proceeding to my questions, emphasizing that we are a unique market in the Northwest Territories. We are a unique market in Yellowknife and the runway addresses a unique market. It's a very strong market concept that could be quite useful to the territory, as well as Canada as a whole. Yellowknife Airport has been identified as a landing spot for emergency cases, but yet our airport is not of the size to address emergency situations, whereas the airport in Whitehorse can, as well as Iqaluit's airport can. So from a safety point of view, what is holding the territorial government back from addressing the safety need, as well as the long-term growth need when it comes to expanding the Yellowknife Airport runway? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
