Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the questions I have are for the Minister of Infrastructure.

Mr. Speaker, every spring the issue of dredging in Hay River is discussed, more so now due to the extensive flooding that took place in Hay River this year. We have watched vessels being pulled off sandbars all summer which adds up to a financial and safety cost.

Mr. Speaker, will the Minister confirm what the financial cost has been to MTS due to flooding in Hay River this year? Thank you.
