Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Specifically, to my knowledge, we have not looked at a barging operation starting out of Fort Providence. What I do know is that a barging company tries to take advantage of early shipments up and down the Mackenzie River before the lake ice is free. The overall transportation strategy that was done in the early to mid-1990s did look at transportation on the river system. One of the options that was looked at there was the possibility of a barging service starting out of Fort Providence. There really has been no interest, to my knowledge, expressed by the private sector that carries out that kind of business. Thank you.
