Mr. Speaker, it's funny the Minister is saying we need to communicate. Last year, in this very House, I mentioned to the department that we will have extended hours because it is so warm, yet the department pulled out the ferry prematurely while the river was open another almost two weeks. It's funny that the department has that response.

Mr. Speaker, the Department of Infrastructure is responsible for the laws and policies that govern road, air, and marine transportation, not to mention the infrastructure itself. What actions is the department taking this winter to keep the costs of living down, especially when it comes to the transportation of goods to our small communities?
