Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is my understanding that there are several outstanding issues that the hydrographic surveys by the Minister's own admission are incomplete, that the community consultations are incomplete, that the questions surrounding dry cargo freight costs are incomplete and that the environmental assessments are incomplete. Having said that, I have to wonder about the timing of an RFP within the next 30 days. I understand that the issue of what the projected rates for dry cargo would be for the Keewatin cannot be finalized at this time. If this initiative goes forward what assurances can the Minister give us that any cost savings realized by the average citizen would not be wiped out by the extra costs involved in staging the goods out of Montreal? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
