Madam Chair, just to add to Deputy Minister Neudorf’s comments, we have had some success at the Norman Wells Airport when it comes to the surface. We had it grooved. It decreases the amount of friction. When you are talking to people in Inuvik – and it wasn’t as much of an issue last winter, it was the winter before – what would seem like a nice day, the weather wasn’t that bad, but the friction on the runway was such that planes couldn’t land and take off and it becomes a safety issue. That is something that we are monitoring closely and perhaps at some point in time we may need to look at the possibility of grooving the runway in Inuvik as well. That could be a possibility as we go forward. We are looking at those types of opportunities. We are watching what is happening in Norman Wells. According to the aviation folks I have talked to, the grooving of the runway in Norman Wells has been a big help in that regard. Thank you.
