Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Madam Chair. If it's going to be a concern from the South to the North, there has to be concern from the North to the South. How can we ensure under CATSA that the security will be there? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. We are now on page 19, detail booklet of Supplementary Appropriation, No. 2, airports, special warrants, $3.4 million. Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Madam Chair. In following in line with some of my colleagues here, the experience that I've seen in the Beaufort-Delta, when industry was doing a lot of exploration work up there, they completely bypassed Inuvik. They flew directly from Calgary to Edmonton and bypassed Inuvik. So with that experience, I'm just wondering is the department preparing for an influx. I'll give a good example: they expanded Tuk's airport from 3,000 to 5,000 feet to accommodate 737s back in the '80s. Right now, the information that was provided, the Department of Transportation wants to cut it back...

Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. If I could just say the language that was used earlier, on parliamentary stuff, can Members be careful? Mr. Dent.

At this time I would like to take a short break here for about 15 minutes and then resume. Thank you.
