Yes, thank you. No, I know the crews are getting very familiar with running through the fall, there, so I think it'll run smoothly. I know a lot of work has been done to the ferry this past spring, and I think a little more needs to be done next year, so that's great to hear, and I look forward to it. Thanks.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Sebert.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister Sebert.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Sebert.

Mr. Speaker, you know what, we'll see what happens with the Joe Greenland Centre this coming winter, but you know if that does not resolve the problem, will the department look at other heating systems, whether it's wood pellet boilers or something like this? I know the government is leaning towards more wood pellet boilers in the community, so you know that may be an option that we may have to look at if that doesn't resolve the issue. So will the department look at that alternative?

Thank you, Minister Sebert. Any further questions, Mr. Thompson?

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Sebert.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Where to begin? I note there are a lot of cutbacks here. I note, I'm not sure what the preparations are in Inuvik this fall, but, you know, I think people really got used to having the ferry open all fall up at Tsiigehtchic on the Mackenzie River, and I just want to know what the plans are, moving forward, because a lot of people are asking back home. You know, it sure helped out with the cost of living up there, as well. So I'd like to ask the department: what's the plans for this coming fall? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Sebert.

Thank you, Ms. Green. Minister Sebert.
