Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transportation. Two days ago, I asked the Minister about the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker service being reduced in the affected area. At that time, I was going to have a supplementary to that question, but we ran out of time, so I did not have the chance to further ask the Minister about the service.

Mr. Speaker, Pelly Bay, as you all know, is dependent solely on the icebreaker service, the Canadian Coast Guard and this government has made a substantial saving by using the icebreaker service to Pelly Bay, when they bring in the building materials, petroleum products, and other essentials for the community. The community has not had any substantial saving, but that is another point.

Mr. Speaker, because Pelly Bay is so dependent upon the icebreaker to bring in the yearly supply for that community, will the Minister assure this House, and the people of Pelly Bay, that service to Pelly Bay, provided by the icebreaker, will not be cut off in the next few years? Thank you.
