The Minister is correct that NTCL and Cooper Barging do provide the service; however, it’s whenever the barges are loaded up and it’s economical and feasible for them to make a trip up the north or a trip down the south. It’s all based on the number of loads and what they can carry. Cooper Barging does do it. NTCL does do it. This one here, I’m looking at a government service that can bring maybe once a week or twice a week, something like that, twice a month or whatever. I’m looking at the economic feasibility. Maybe people have to pay. I’m not too sure in terms of this here, but can they look at it, look at the options? We’re building infrastructure -- very costly, very costly to this government here -- and so I want to just ask if the Minister is open to looking at something like this, an analysis. You know, have the staff who have the expertise look at what it will take and just say go, no-go, then that’s okay. That’s what I’m asking for.
