Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Can the department give a little bit further explanation around why these numbers were determined? I mean, I appreciate the Minister's comment as it relates to other jurisdictions having similar-sized airports, but I think that clearly we are in a very unique situation, especially being in a northern remote area, that we have to be very prudent and understanding of the effects that these types of fees can have on cost of living. I'm not suggesting that I'm opposed to the fees, but trying to capture 100 per cent cost recovery for maintenance and O and M operations of the airport right out of the gate is going to have some degree of sticker shock. And quite frankly I feel that people are going to really feel this effect in their pocketbook. Can the Minister maybe explain a little bit more why we're coming out with fees that seem to be fairly high, and why we wouldn't try to maybe get a 25 per cent or 50 per cent cost recovery on our airport operations at first? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
