Mr. Speaker, people in the Mackenzie Delta knew when they were able to catch the ferry on the Inuvik side. They knew on the hour, and you were able to be there. You were on the half-hour in Fort McPherson. You knew the ferry was going to be there. Now that they’ve changed the system, it is confusing to everybody. On the other hand, it’s going to cost this government in excess of 40 per cent more to operate on basically an as-and-when and not through a scheduled system. If we’re talking about saving money, it’s the perfect opportunity for this government to show we’re setting an example.

I’d like to ask the Minister: are you aware of the 40 per cent savings on the scheduled service by way of the operational costs over that of a ferry on an as-and-when-needed basis?
