At this point, there are certainly enough.... I won't say “enough”, but there are runways that have asphalt, and they will operate aircraft that do not have gravel kits. So, Iqaluit, Inuvik, Whitehorse, Yellowknife, places of that nature.... Cargo will come in there. It will be off-loaded onto aircraft that can go to gravel runways. It's just that, with the pilot shortages and things and the crew-hour problems that exist, flights are reduced, and service is reduced. Some of the communities rely on air service 12 months of the year. If you get above 60° latitude, 12 months of the year everything comes in by air: passengers, cargo or what have you.
