Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, previously the Minister had mentioned bathymetric surveys had to be done during the summer. Well, that's not quite true. They can be done in the winter as well. So, you know, when I hear that it has to be done in the summer and that's why I asked about the technical support that she has in her department. You know, if I know that and I've got no real technical background, then I'm hoping that her people would have it.

So is she willing to look at winter work to determine the extent of dredging required? I'd like to see her department collect the information as quickly as possible so that we can get the business case done and into the federal government. Thank you.
