Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I understand where the department is going with this, but, at the same time, I think we need to take into consideration the communities' concerns, especially coming from the chiefs of each community. This is becoming a problem in the community. More of a challenge in the community through, during the power outage when there's an emergency crisis really there is no means of air transportation. But he's saying that there's a backup. I'd like to find out, he's saying that, the Minister is saying really there are no plans in place to deal with the federal legislation, but I'm asking the department if they're willing to investigate further to look into the emergency backup plan where Yellowknife, Hay River, Smith or different major communities do have them. I think we need to recognize isolated communities. We are the communities, as well. I think the Minister should really look into that. Mahsi.
