Mr. Speaker, we are following the regulatory requirements under the Airports Act, the federal airports legislation. There is no requirement for this government to put in backup generators into the communities. We really don't have the resources to put in backup generators in the communities, in the airports, and we don't really have the resources to provide the maintenance and repairs this would all entail. So we don't have the investment that's required to do so. We have a plan that's acceptable to the federal government and that's the means that we are moving forward on this and providing emergency landing with flare pots. There is nothing wrong with that, Mr. Speaker.
