Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we were not in a position to give 72 hours' notice on the shutdown of this ferry. The ferry was running on reduced hours, and we had, I think, roughly eight hours' notice, and we did provide that to the communities that the ferry would be shut down. This interruption in service is not acceptable to us, also. We are looking at how we can accommodate the resupply in the communities, and we have given notice to the contractor that we expect them to resume ferry services by 8:00 tomorrow morning. Failing that, we will make every reasonable effort to have a resupply system in place, so that the communities can get fuel and groceries over this week. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
