Mr. Chairman, the Detah ice crossing was included as a public highway under the public highway regulations at the time of the transfer from the federal government, and we have continued to maintain it rather than taking on the challenge of trying to have it removed from the regulations. It was done, I'm sure, at the time because of the condition of the Detah road in the days before the transfer until recently, because of the distance to travel, going all the way around the Detah road. So, it has always been there. We have not taken a look at pulling it off. It isn't a high expense to us. It's done with our own crews and equipment, it doesn't take a lot of time so we continue to do it as a service to the community. Thank you.
