Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the honourable Member said, this is state of the art technology. This is the first year that we have put this into place. It is a little early at this time to evaluate the savings or the time we have saved in doing the ice crossing. I would think, perhaps, with next year's opportunity, we have learned some of the mistakes we have made this year and that by next year we should be in a better position. I am optimistic, while it was a $200,000 investment, we will be able to achieve the objective, and that is to get the ice road in place as quickly as possible so everyone can take advantage of it. However, it is a little early at this time to evaluate whether that expenditure is the right one and whether, in fact, it has achieved the end it is supposed to achieve.
