Mr. Chair, my difficulty with this.... I think I have a pretty good handle on seasonal service in the north, in rural communities. I have some communities that have absolutely about three weeks of service by road, and the only way they can get their goods is by plane. For instance, Fort Chipewyan has seasonal operations, and a lot of people go in there to fish, but it's a very difficult time to fish in the middle of winter when there are four feet of ice on the lake.
I think what it's going to do, if this amendment passes that Mr. Julian has put forward, is it's going to restrict operators from actually trying out seasonal operations in the north. What I'm curious about, since the main concern seems to be rural communities and their expression of dissatisfaction with the cut-off of seasonal air service, is whether the department can tell us how many communities have actually expressed, over the last five years, concerns about seasonal operators discontinuing the service to them.
