I would move on now to the issue of POL. The Minister undertook a contract to study the privatization of POL. That report has not come forward. There are a couple of issues regarding the privatization of the POL that I am not sure of. I would like those clarified. The situation in the Keewatin with the resupply has been mentioned in this House two different times over every session that we have sat on over the last two years. I have a question concerning that. I wonder the numbers, the monies of the savings on this resupply that the Minister mentioned, I think it is $30 million or $60 million. Are those scrutinized numbers? Who crunched those numbers? Was that an outside agency that actually evaluated those numbers. Do we have some type of substantiation on the figures? If the Minister could confirm indeed that this resupply using the pipeline instead of the barge, is that a separate issue from the Rankin Inlet tank farm that was deferred before because of decisions made in this House? Are both linked? Thank you.
