Thank you, Mr. Chair. In regard to the Coast Guard regulations that we operate under for marine vessels and also the types of weight that can be carried on specific ferries, I know that the pipeline companies are looking at their transportation option of moving goods and services by highway. In regard to crossings I know there were some questions asked about the Peel River ferry having the capacity to take on some of these heavier loads that we’re probably going to see during the construction of the pipeline.
I would like to ask exactly what this government is doing to ensure we do have the capacity to replace that ferry so it can carry heavier loads and also that companies see that the public’s safety is taken into account and we follow federal Coast Guard regulations. I’d like to ask: exactly what are we doing in regard to movement of goods and services and the safety of people on our marine vessels?
