Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If I could have a few minutes. Mr. Chairman, it's worth about $880,000.

We've had previous discussions with the Minister, we've had discussions with the community trying to negotiate some sort of workable solution on the privatization of that operation, and it seems like it hasn't really gone anywhere. I'd like to ask the Minister, knowing that the privatization is no longer there, but knowing that in your earlier comments you said what you try to do once the private sector has moved in, is that you move out and you try to dispose of your assets. I'd like to ask the Minister, is he still open to the idea of negotiating the privatization of that operation in Fort McPherson?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. To my knowledge, PPD is not operating in Fort McPherson. There's a private firm there that has been distributing fuel for close to two years now. So, I mean, it's already happened. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, the Minister made a commitment to the community that he was going to negotiate. Now you're telling me that the offer is no longer there to negotiate. The Minister and I were at a meeting with the chief and people from the co-op to look at the privatization of that tank farm and the fuel products. I'd like to ask the Minister is that commitment still there from yourself as the Minister?

Mr. Chairman, I would have to go and check my correspondence, but I believe the last correspondence we had from Fort McPherson was that they withdrew their offer.

Well from the earlier comments, it seemed like that offer was good enough to allow the department to privatize the tank farm in Tuktoyaktuk. Why isn't that offer good in other communities?

Mr. Chairman, Fort McPherson is basically privatized. We have a private firm operating. If they were to make an offer to us for our inventory in the tank -- and I believe they did this in the past -- and for the tanks themselves, including the clean-up cost, we would definitely consider it, because we have already done it for one company. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, if the firm writes to the department, the department will take the request to the FMBS and to Cabinet to see if in fact we can go through the process, the same process we're using with EGT right now. We've taken that to FMBS with a recommendation to go forward with it. That's why it's now going through the legal process before the deal is signed off. But basically it would be the same process for a request from Fort McPherson.

I would just like to ask the Minister's department, do you charge an administration fee to these different agencies that perform work on behalf of us in regards to 16 percent, say administration. I would like to know, what is the administration fee that you charge for services provided to these different agents?
