Thank you, Mr. Speaker. You know, what we're talking about is a section of channel that's probably maybe 300 to 500 feet long and however wide it may be. You know, you're probably going to need 150 to or 200 feet to get barges and vessels through there safely. That's what we're talking about initial. Initial work. And, you know, we can look -- the problem I have is that the department's looking at the whole thing and not breaking it up and seeing what can be done earlier.
So I guess I'd ask if the Minister would be willing to take a look at, you know, if we could look at what could be done this year or this spring or even this winter for dredging. Like, we could be dredging off the ice that's, say, in January or February, with hose and that. We've done it on the Liard River. We've done it on Mackenzie River before. So is the Minister willing to look at that option as well? Thank you.
