Is it one big fuel tank, Mr. Chairman, or is it many different fuel tanks? Since we have spent, in prior years, estimates of $889,000, when you look at the size of the fuel tank for $1.3 million, you must be getting a very big fuel tank. How many fuel tanks is this?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are five 20,000 gallon fuel tanks. We had split up the tender on this portion of it. We put the tender out for fuel tank construction. I am happy to report that an outfit out of Hay River won it. These tanks are being manufactured in the north. They are the first fuel tanks to be manufactured in the north. They will be taken in by winter road and installed for next year. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is the final stage of it. Those tanks will be mobilized in the winter. The heating fuel and the gasoline will also be transported this winter. The construction of fencing and the painting will be done this winter. The warranty and the final inspection will be done the following year. Thank you.
