Thank you, Madam Chair. You know, we have a number of other ferries. We also have the Lafferty, the Louis Cardinal, and the Abraham Francis. I don't see them in here. And just because of what happened with the Lafferty and the steering, I'm just wondering if you know when the next Transport Canada visit will be and if there's any work that we anticipate with respect to that vessel as well.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, every year the department looks at our infrastructure and determines, you know, what -- what needs to be done to be able to ensure we have -- we comply with some -- the safety regulations.
I'm going to look to Deputy Minister Loutitt to add anything further on the other ferries. Right now we just have the one ferry in the plan. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. We also have an upgrade to the ferry system, ferry sewage system on the Louis Cardinal happening this year as well.
And as the Minister noted, all of our work is prioritized and based on the inspections that we have and the reports that we get from Transport Canada during their certification to ensure that the vessels are safe for use.
We also will throughout the winter, we'll have inspections done on the vessels, and work will be done to make sure that issues like the steering one are addressed. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. You know, I've had the opportunity to talk to, I guess, some of the trucking companies that do haul fuel, and one of the issues that they had was with the the Johnny Berens and, you know, taking fuel across there, and I think they have -- I think they're only allowed so many tons, and I guess the stability of the Johnny Berens is always I think or has been a concern.
Is that something that has been brought up and may be addressed. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm going to ask Mr. Moore to respond to that.

Thank you, Madam Chair. As deputy minister Loutitt mentioned earlier, all the ferries are inspected on a regular basis and looking at aspects of their function, including certification with respect to Transport Canada provisions. Obviously the safe and secure capacity of those ferries, including stability, would something that will be looked at as well. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The ferries that came out recently, and I'm just wondering when -- you know, this here has been in works for a while, I guess, these projects. Will we be looking at throughout the winter, will somebody go in and take a look at those ferries and see if there's any additional work, you know, say for instance, you know, the Lafferty, if it requires -- you know, whether it might require hull work or, you know, something like that, do we look at that during the winter, or do we wait until spring for that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Sorry. Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, every year refits in between seasons. Mostly in the springtime, we go and inspect all of our ferries to make sure that they are done before it goes back in the water. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I want to say it is good to see that a lot of this section is not in Yellowknife, and the one item that is for Yellowknife is something that kind of benefits everybody. So I did just want to say that it's good to see this amount of money going out to the communities.
My question is around the temporary berm repairs in Tsiigehtchic. Is that a temporary berm, or the repairs are temporary. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm not quick enough to get to that section in my binder. So I'm going to ask Mr. Moore to answer that. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The repairs are obviously, you know, for the long term. But it is being done in an interim basis to ensure stability of the site. We've put that work of $150,000, I believe it is, into the 2022-2023 budget. Thank you, Madam Chair.
