Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I certainly agree with the Minister, that many communities are asking for extension of runways. I'm asking for the Sahtu region. The communities that need their runways, such as Colville Lake, Fort Good Hope, Tulita and Deline, in terms of these runways being extended because the other communities have all-weather road access into their communities and some of them have a winter road that could go there. But our region here in terms of Mackenzie gas activity, will the Minister look at a solution by industry, by his government, by this government, by the federal government and also airline companies, saying we could do this instead of looking at spending millions of dollars? Otherwise we're going to put it, in the Sahtu, in jeopardy in terms of the safety of our aircrafts landing in our communities. Thank you.
