Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this year we have had some unusual temperatures and variations in the temperatures. At the time the ferry at the crossing at Liard was pulled out of the water there was considerable ice flowing down the river, large pans of ice rather than just slush. It was a judgement call by my department to pull the ferry out because of the ice conditions at the time. Subsequently I have learned that it had cleared up within a week or 10 days, for a short time, and then again is resumed flowing ice, Mr. Speaker. It is a judgement call by the operators at the time they view the situation and make that determination that the ferry should come out of the water before harm comes to it.
