Statements in the House
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, we'll have to get back to the Member. That is -- not tomorrow. We'll have to get back to the Member in terms of what our plans are. You know, it is very important that we -- you know, we look at this, and it's -- I'm presenting to standing committee on some of the lessons learns through MTS. And that's -- you know, we're looking at dates now. And I think, you know, that's a really good opportunity to be able to explain what are some of the challenges that we face in getting our fuel into the communities or supplies into the communities and having to deal with climate change and getting our tugs out of Hay River, for example. So, I mean, that is something that we will -- we are gathering some information now so that we can present to the committee. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, yes.
Okay. Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm going to ask Tracy to speak further to that. Thanks.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm going to ask Ms. St. Denis to speak to our plan. I know we have one in plan. We've got our six tugs. They all have different areas to go. But I want to see if Tracy can speak to it. Thanks.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, no. We did cover the cost to bring the supplies into the community. There is no additional cost. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the Member is correct. It was quite, you know, expensive as a result of us not getting the barges in. We did commit to, you know, do the best we can do ensure we get the supplies back to the community members. I believe the number was about $3 million. I just want to just turn it over to Ms. Lee to just perhaps speak a little bit more about where we're at. That was the number I was given a while ago. So if I can, thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, in Colville Lake, we have about -- we're about 93 percent with the fuel for gasoline in the community, and we're about 78 percent to get our diesel into the community as one example. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. You know, Deline is one of the communities that we need fuel going in. I know we didn't have enough weight restriction on the road so there was a delay. I'm going to see if Mr. Brennan has any further updates as, you know, the community was quite concerned about getting the fuel, and I'm -- in speaking with the leadership as well. But, I mean, we are working to try and get the right amount of fuel to get them through. But if I can see if Gary wants to speak -- or Mr. Brennan wants to speak any further. Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I'm going to say yes, only if we revise the agreement. So, I mean, there is opportunity going forward to look at the agreement, and if it is required, that is something we can look at. Thank you.
