Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this current contract that we have in regard to delivering of dry cargo expires at the end of 1998. I guess the active discussion is looking at how are we going to deal with dry cargo after this contract expires? As for, what did the government gain? I do not really know the numbers, but I could look into that matter, but I do not think that the government really gained in this matter. I think if we were subsidizing the community so that to bring the costs down; then, you know, the cost of transportation was picked up by the government at that time and by putting in the sealifts, the cost of this subsidy has been greatly reduced. Maybe that is the way the government benefitted, by having a less expense into subsidizing the community. I will take the question from the honourable Member and since he is talking about specific numbers, I will check that out and get back to the honourable Member with more detailed information. Thank you.
