Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Certainly supplying the communities is a concern, as well as getting in and out for many back services is absolutely a concern. Based on the information that our department has got from Transport Canada is that there's a bit of an incorrect reading of how the Transport Canada rules are to be applied. What they are saying is that their requirements for the runway extensions are, there will be a rule in 2010, but it doesn't really apply to ours. We've done an assessment and have determined that the runways that are currently in our communities suit our needs and the aircraft that are using them presently, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
