Mr. Chair, the petroleum products division purchases and stores the fuel for our communities. Mr. Chair, can the Minister let this House know in terms of the transportation of this fuel, where lies the responsibility of transferring all the fuel once it gets to the community, unloaded and into their tanks? From there it goes to another sector in terms of delivery. So they have a sense of their control, even on the Mackenzie River. I guess the point I’m getting at is that this past August, I believe it was, one of the barging companies that ran ashore just outside of Wrigley, was hauling fuel. I don’t know if it was a private stock or this was transportation of fuel for the government. If I could get clarification on that, then I’ll have to have my questions answered with another department.
