Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Public Works and Services. I understand that a tender call for the operation of a petroleum storage and pipeline distribution facility at Iqaluit airport -- which was originally to close August, and has been delayed each month until now -- has recently been cancelled by the federal government. And, the reason for this cancellation, I understand, is that the Government of the Northwest Territories has entered into negotiations with the Government of Canada to transfer ownership of the capital facilities, the tank farm and pipeline distribution facility. Is it correct that the Government of the Northwest Territories proposes to take over this federal facility? Thank you.
