Mr. Chairman, I'm going to guess that we kicked it off two months ago here. I'm just going by memory, but I had asked the department to look at the market. This really has to be done more by our department than by DOT, in fairness, to understand the tourism market opportunities, a bit of a swat analysis, the strength and weaknesses, opportunities, threats, compare ourselves to other jurisdictions. I think we needed to have a good handle on this. Before we go head long into proposing an investment, we need to understand if that will in fact make the difference. There's also the infrastructure piece, and that's why DOT comes in. They're the ones with the best handle on what it would cost and how they would be able to upgrade an airport to accommodate physically the infrastructure. Thank you.
