Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’ve got a few questions for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. About a month ago I got in touch with the Minister in regard to some complaints I was hearing from local truck drivers and truck operators and their inability to get work on the ice road. It’s understandable, given the economic downturn and the lack of loads going up that road -- it’s down substantially this year -- that there would be some scaling back there. However, there’s still a number of southern-based companies and southern drivers that are getting the work on the ice road. I’d like to ask the Minister if he could get us a detailed analysis of where these trucks originate. Of the 350 trucks, where do they originate?
