Mr. Speaker, I very much appreciate the comments made by the member opposite. He will know, having worked in an air traffic control tower, there is a difference between what they do and what flight information services do and the services they provide.
I ask him to make sure, when he does have that conversation with the Minister of Transport, that the minister knows the complexity of the flights going on at the Regina International Airport. I believe, and I hope the member opposite would agree, flight information services provide a valuable service, but it is not quite the same service as an air traffic control tower in the fact that there are a few different words such as “you may land”, “you could land” or “you are cleared for takeoff”.
The member will understand these words and the differences between the services provided by the different entities. I hope he will help me in making sure the Regina International Airport has an air traffic control tower going forward, based on the complexity of the flights, the Snowbirds, the 15 Wing air force base in Moose Jaw and the seriousness in ensuring the brave men and women who serve there have the safety and services they deserve.
