Certainly. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, when the specifications are designed for these boats, specifically boats -- you know, trucks are a little bit different where you can go with one standard design. Typically what happens is the -- as the tender is being developed and the specifications are being developed, there's an interaction between FMD who coordinates that procurement and the specific region and the needs of that region depending on varying factors. So the potential rivers that may be -- where the boat may be used in the Nahendeh riding could be significantly different than the river that the boat is used in Fort Providence which could be different than a boat that's used in Yellowknife. So typically that's the reason that they may not be exactly the same. It may be due to the different terrain. Also depending on the program that the boat is supporting, there may be different needs depending on equipment or material that may need to be moved or used or how the boat is configured. So they're not all necessarily the same but they're certainly based on the need of the specific program. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
