Yes. You know, I hope I don't have to say, "I told you so," in the next year or two, but let's just hope that Inuvik is not put in danger with this decision that was made by the department. You never know how long freeze-ups can last, especially with climate change right now. The average is two months from the time they pull out the ferry until the heavy traffic can move through the ice road, so that is a lot of time. That is over 60 days that something tragic could happen with the situation that they have in Inuvik with the natural gas and LNG. We will just have to see what happens here. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
