No, not to my knowledge, Mr. Speaker, the freight costs to the Keewatin communities have not increased. I would like to emphasize that there is a working committee in place now which includes the major transportation company, that is NTCL, looking at alternatives to sea-lift transportation of the POL products and the dry cargo that the honourable Member is alluding to. My understanding is that there will be no significant increase in the cost of dry cargo this summer out of Churchill.
