Mr. Speaker, to replace these lights, the cost factor is an issue. For the replacement of lights in these small communities for the airports, the price tag on replacement is around $300,000. In both of the
communities that the Member has raised, we replaced lights on a number of occasions. We have another community in his riding where the lights have been damaged three times over the last year and a half. It has become a very big concern. It is a safety issue. Until we can find a way to work this through or find a system where the lights are not continually damaged through either the maintenance of the runways or vandalism, we will have to continue to depend on flare pots, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
