Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was curious about one item the Minister talked about in his opening remarks: the ice breaker, the retrofitting of the Terry Fox, for $1.4 million. I think this is a good project and it is worthy of our approval and our participation, Mr. Chairman, because some time ago there was at least one community that wasn't served by sea, even though it was on the coast. The retrofitting of the ship will give an opportunity for more resupply by sea. There are no longer any communities that are not accessible.

It is a good thing it is an ice breaker because not too long ago, our honourable colleague for the High Arctic mentioned that there was almost no resupply in one of the communities because the ice was causing problems for the ships to get in there. I wonder if the Minister would know whether or not the ice breaker, the Terry Fox, and the retrofit that we've spent so much money on, will be used for other communities other than the ones in the Pelly Bay area.

I recognize the fact that some are easy to get into; Iqaluit, for example. But, with some of the smaller communities, there is a lot of ice in those areas. Will it be used in other areas besides Pelly Bay, to alleviate any future problems they might have with ice?
