Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have not, but the reason is that a fuel truck has to meet some safety requirements because we are delivering the flammable materials into the communities. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The unit that we are providing for Sachs Harbour is a fuel truck. The cost of this fuel truck is $78,000, and the estimated freight cost is $9000. To replace the existing vehicle, number 85-3976, which has a depreciated value of $9360, the estimated operations and maintenance which is required on the old vehicle is $13,000. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to go back to a few years ago. I do not recall what year it was. The person who was looking after the fuel delivery in Gjoa Haven, and his son, were cleaning the tank, which is right in the community. There was a fatal accident that caused the man and his son to die in that accident. After this, the community of Gjoa Haven has been complaining about the tanks because of the environmental and safety aspects. They
are right in town, and that is one of the reasons why we are prepared to move the tanks, to relocate them to a now site. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We are building one new tank and we are relocating two existing tanks.
Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters March 11th, 1992
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. To build a now tank farm in Gjoa Haven would be in the neighbourhood of three million dollars. To relocate the existing tanks would be around two million dollars.

Mr. Chairman, I will let my deputy minister respond to that. Thank you.
Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters March 11th, 1992
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We are doing both. We are relocating the tanks and putting an additional tank into the community.
Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters March 11th, 1992
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is an additional requirement. Thank you.
Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters March 11th, 1992
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, we will have to fly in the fuel, and the total cost of flying in the drums is $29,000.
Item 18: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters March 11th, 1992
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The design will be completed by March 31, 1992. The size of the facility has been established using an alternating year resupply, allowing for the impact of capital infrastructure arising from other departments and providing for additional growth for 10 years into the future. The project plan outlined is consistent with the previous return of an oral question involving construction of this new facility. On November 2, 1990 the honourable Tom Butters stated that the construction of the tank farm in Snare Lake is scheduled in 1993-94 and painting and inspection in 1994-95. Mr. Butters also indicated that there are a number of capital projects planned for Snare Lake over the next two years and it may be more than appropriate to spread the work out to maximize job opportunities for community residents and permit time to build up a supply of gravel needed for the construction. These arguments are still valid and support the present schedule for completing this project.
