Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have asked questions on this issue before, but I want to address questions about the ferry strike again with the Premier, and I really would like to get more commitment from the Premier. Mr. Speaker, I am of the view that we cannot wait for the federal government to intervene. During the Giant Mine strike, we waited for them. There were hundreds of people on strike; there were replacement workers; it took weeks. We cannot wait for that. I believe this government has to find a way to bring the parties together and intervene where necessary. I wasn't clear about what commitment the Premier was making. I would like to ask the Premier if there was any evidence of safety infractions, and if they pull the ferry, and it is found to be unjustified, would the Premier consider taking over the ferry service and running the service, so that people can have access to the only road, and force the two parties to talk? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
