Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Transportation. Mr. Speaker, last month I asked a question with regard to the operation of the Merv Hardie pulling the Coast Guard on Beaver Lake. At that time, the Minister responded about how much time and money was spent. He did say that $50 worth of additional fuel was wasted at that time. The ferry was absent for approximately 67 hours from doing its job in ferrying vehicles across. Twenty large tractor trailers and 27 automobiles were waiting -- I do not know on which side of the river. I would like to know how much this government had to spend with regard to the salaries which were used up, and also to inform this House, what was the average operating cost per hour for the ferry's operation?
