Mr. Speaker, on October 11 I was in Fort Simpson and I had an opportunity to take a helicopter ride to the ferry landing. Mr. Speaker, the river was fairly open and there was very little ice on the river, but the ferry has been in dry dock for about a month. It cost me quite a bit to get to Simpson by charter. It is a brand new ferry which is supposed to draw less water. It is supposed to handle the worst ice conditions. This was not the case during my visit, the ferry was on dry dock. Is it the governments decision when they dock them, or is it at the discretion of the person who operates them?
