Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are a couple of things I note here. I know that the Minister says nothing more, no wharves. I note that a wharf construction in Whale Cove is only $60,000, but we have a wharf -- if you want to call a marine terminal a wharf -- in Rankin Inlet that is $1.05 million. My particular question is with regard to the tank moorings. Obviously, Rankin Inlet has been able to be supplied in the past without those tanker moorings because of the system of ships that were used. Now, unless we intend to use tankers, there is really no justification for the tanker moorings. So I think the decision to use tankers has to be made before we decide to put in tanker moorings.
Mr. Chairman, I also note that in the report from the standing committee that it says they were surprised to see this project still in there, and that in April the Minister explained that this project was in fact on hold and that a plan was being developed to defer the tanker mooring project for 1997-98. I wonder if the Minister could respond to that for me.
