Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regard to the fuel tank construction in Clyde River, Igloolik and Lake Harbour, what is their capacity? Since, particularly in Clyde River, we spent $1.7 million last year, is this, again, completion of construction for the fuel tank in Clyde River?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The work on the project for Clyde River is going into the second year of construction, when new tankage and dispensing facilities for the main facility will be complete. The storage capacities will increase in 1994 for existing capacities. P50 fuel oil will increase from 2.085 to 5.053 million litres, and motor gasoline will increase from 380,000 to 477,000 litres. Turbo A fuel will be increased to 642,000 litres. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The construction of the fuel tanks in Clyde River involve local contractors. The community uses heavy equipment on the earth works, they use the local labour force and general labourers. Although the construction of fuel storage tanks requires specialized workers, contractors are required to use as many local labourers and services as possible, in accordance with the business incentive policy.

Since the prior years, there has been about $2 million spent. He said earlier that this is going into the second year of construction. Therefore, whoever did the first year of construction is probably doing the second year of construction. Who is doing this construction?
