Yes, there is. There are those types of discussions that happen and Edelweiss is one of them. We certainly have to be taking a look at the infrastructure that we have at YZF. Runway length has been talked about. That would probably require $40 million to $50 million to lengthen the runway. Also, other infrastructure that would be required to handle different types of aircraft, and also the requirement of customs personnel and a customs handling area at YZF. The dialogue continues and we certainly understand and appreciate, from a tourism perspective, what having direct international flights show up in Yellowknife and in the Northwest Territories could mean to the tourism sector here in the Northwest Territories. It’s a dialogue that we continue to have but it is going to cost some money. If we can find a carrier that does want to pursue that, we’re going to have to come up with some sizeable dollars to make it happen.
