Thank you, Mr. Chair. The funding for the three terminal building projects that the Member mentioned is coming from the federal government underneath the stimulus funding. So DOT will have a total of $3.4 million for those three terminal buildings cost shared 50/50 with the territorial government. Those projects were just officially approved by the federal government this summer and we are currently out for RFP design services on the terminals. We will finalize that this winter, get a contract in place, award that so that we can meet the first barge for delivery of material into the communities. If there is an opportunity to move some material into Tuk this winter, then, certainly, we’ll take advantage of the winter road that’s there. Since this is federal stimulus funding, we have to have the project complete by March 31, 2011, and that will be a challenge, but we have a plan to meet that target. Thank you.
