Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member has laid it out pretty well there. When we initially went into this, we started a working group, the Harbour Restoration Working Group. A bunch of work and meetings have taken place with them on a harbour restoration plan. The Coast Guard has done sounding of the Hay River harbour. The military did a flyover and did some photographs for us. As we speak, an analysis of sediment is under way to give us a better idea around the environmental requirements and permitting that needs to be identified as we move forward on this, but I can update the House on opportunities for funding on this project.

The Department of Infrastructure has brought this up with the federal government around the Oceans Protection Plan. We have given them a list of priorities that we believe need to be prioritized under this funding arrangement with the federal government and, at some point, a bilateral they will sign with us, and included in that is the restoration of the Hay River Harbour.

One point that I want to make is that the federal government is not very keen on doing dredging, but we keep pressing the point that this is a priority for us, as it is a security need, a food issue, a resupply issue. The port of Hay River is a focal point of the Marine Transportation System, in and out, and in and out for Coast Guard themselves.

We will continue to pursue federal funding and make our case on the Oceans Protection Plan, and at some point, hopefully we will be able to make an announcement. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
