Thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, so the Member is correct, there's definitely different weight limits on the Abraham Francis, which is a cable ferry across the Peel River. And I'm kind of concerned because I had a conversation about this yesterday and now I'm wondering if he's been listening in on our conversations, but.
We are looking at extending the ferry. We put in some more styrofoam in last year just to increase the buoyancy of that vessel, and we want to extend the ferry by I do believe it's 20 to 30 feet. Unfortunately right now we don't have any funding so we are seeking funding. We're trying to come up with creative ways to extend that ferry to allow our super-Bs to go in one load rather than to have to decouple the fuel trucks and go back again.
So the Member is correct, there is some challenges with that ferry. We do want to extend it. We think we can extend it by X number of feet and get 25 more years out of that ferry as well. So if we can identify the funding, we will actually proceed with that project as soon as we can. Thank you, Madam Chair.
