Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the honourable Member is asking me about the breakwater system in the constituency of Broughton Island. Mr. Speaker, from 1991-1992 and ending in 1995-96, the Department of Transportation worked along with the municipality of Broughton Island and completed a breakwater system. We spent about $650,000 on that whole project. We also provided a floating dock for the community. At that time there were a lot of questions raised by the municipality if perhaps we should develop this breakwater into a much bigger project which would accommodate larger ships. The price on that is undetermined but it is quite a substantial amount. We have not really put into our plans at this time to expand the work that we have completed recently. However, the regional superintendent of transportation, Methusalah Kunuk from Iqaluit is responsible for that area through our department. We do have some operation and maintenance funding to maintain the existing structure from any slumping or damage, just to do some overall recapping on this community. This is the extent of the work we have done in the community. Thank you.
