Mr. Speaker, I know the people of Canada and especially the people of the United States, who were in those airplanes, are extremely grateful to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador for the hospitality they provided.
Indeed, many of those Americans still go back to Newfoundland and Labrador for events and to thank them personally two years after this event occurred.
I know as well that my colleague, the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, is seized with the specific question that the hon. member posed.
