Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, up until September 1 this year, Pelly was indeed the only community that was situated on the waterfront that had no ships or shipping facilities. As of September 1 this year, that ended when the coastguard delivered two ceremonial barrels of fuel to Pelly Bay. Mr. Speaker, the delivery of that fuel, I think, was the end result of a long struggle that the honourable Member had initially launched when he first came into the House, to reduce shipping costs into his community. The amount delivered was relatively small, Mr. Speaker, 90 gallons, one barrel of gas, and one barrel of heating fuel were delivered to the Mayor and the M.L.A. for the distribution to the community for gas for their snowmobiles, we hope. Maybe get a few caribou out of it, and then the heating fuel for the heating of the community hall. So, all together, 90 gallons, sir.
