The comments reported in the news media attributed to Greyhound indicated that they will continue to be involved in hauling freight but they are dropping the passenger service. I think by doing that, what they are doing is keeping what they think makes money and dropping the part that they think does not make money, which makes it difficult for someone else in the private sector to go into that and still go head to head and compete with Greyhound on the freight side of things. So I would like to know what this government will plan to do. I think it’s going to be difficult for the private sector to compete, but like I said, I have great confidence in the business sector in Hay River to consider and perhaps step into this gap.

I’d like to ask what role this government could play in assisting, cooperating... Sometimes it takes a while to get these things off the ground before they become financially viable. Does this government have an interest in assisting? There is already courier and freight service. Greyhound is only one of those services that comes into Hay River right now, or will as of October, but I’m mostly concerned about the passenger service. Is this something that

through Tourism or Transportation this government sees itself having a role in?
