Madam Chair, I don't have the exact number of engineering studies that were done on the Tuk shoreline. This thing goes back 30 years to when the federal government first did it through Public Works Canada. There were a number of different approaches used to control the shoreline erosion. They were not all successful, mostly because of a shortage of funding in the community or the government's inability to do a large enough project that it would stop the erosion completely. It was sort of a small scale operation where the hamlet was allowed, through the funding process, to have $100,000 a year, extraordinary funding, included in their funding on an annual basis. This was what they used to try to control the erosion. I can't respond, Madam Chair, to exactly how many different studies that were done, but there were a number of them.
