Madam Chair, right now we have only two ferry services operating through our own forces. We don't plan to have any of the other ferries come under our own forces in the next while. There has been some discussion with the community of Tsiigehtchic where they indicated that they wanted to turn back the services. They have a partner, the Inuvik Dene. There is some discussion going on between the union and the employees and I think the Inuvik band. However, we haven't looked at taking over that service. We are still hoping that they will be able to work it out. Our cost analysis is based on the ferries we are currently operating. We have an RFP, as indicated, to do an assessment. The tender for that is closed tomorrow. We expect to have a report in April of the assessment, including management of our marine services. That's where we are at with this, Madam Chair.
