Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the incident the Member is referring to was the grounding of the Coast Guard's ship on a sandbar a few kilometres downstream from the ferry. The ferry was dispatched to assist the Coast Guard's ship off the sandbar, and approximately six and one half hours were spent. When the ferry returned to the crossing, it took approximately two hours to clear the backlog of traffic. We had sent out advisory notices to the traffic on the highway that there would be a disruption in service. The only cost that we could assess at the time was the approximate amount of fuel that was used to move the boat down the river. I do not know the cost of wages at this time. I will get that information for the Member. I will take that part of the question as notice.
