I look forward to that report tomorrow.

Okay. We'll leave that there. It's in the capable hands of the Minister and her staff. That's something I would really, really want to have considered. It saves a lot of wear and tear and everything all around. It could be beneficial in savings in the future. The Marine Training Centre, I'm not sure if that one is in Fort Smith or Hay River. I'm wondering if it's being used to full capacity with people from the North, and if not, would we look at accepting students from the South? That's all I have on that one, Mahsi.

Did we switch pages already? Okay. Getting back to my question, we have a resupply down the Mackenzie Valley for the Mackenzie Valley communities that don't have the road system in the summer months. I know that they are being serviced from the Hay River port with the tugs and barges. The Beaufort-Delta, which is up in the Arctic Ocean communities, my question there was: are they being resupplied from the port in Inuvik? I'm wondering the frequency of the deliveries during the summer months, whether we're increasing in the resupply and the resupply of cargo. I guess I'll start with those ones...

[Microphone turned off] ...marine operations. The Marine Training Centre, I was hearing about it. I'm not sure where the centre really is located and whether it is still operational and if you are getting a high attendance there. If not, would we consider southern students to fill any empty seats? Mahsi.

Mahsi, Madam Chair. Under marine operations, we have resupply to the communities. There is the Mackenzie River communities, so I imagine they are serviced from the Port of Hay River. For the Beaufort-Delta, I'm not certain if they are serviced from Hay River or else the resupply is from Inuvik. Can you just clarify that? At the same time, too, whether we're seeing an increase in the resupply cargo? Mahsi.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I would like to reflect on the actions of last week in which there was a motion put to the floor of the House to remove the Cabinet Minister. While I am six months into my term as a rookie MLA and still learning the ropes as to procedures in the House, procedures for committee meetings, procedures for dealing with Cabinet Ministers, and a host of other procedures, policies, regulations, and legislative acts, Mr. Speaker, of course I am not new to the political arena, having served terms on local government counsels, the Dene Band, and hamlet councils, but nothing can...

That's fine. Thanks.

No further questions.

Thanks for that. To me, it seems like it's quite the long trip up the Mackenzie River. There are lots of hours in there, and there is a lot of fuel being burned. I thought we may have learned our lessons from, was it the 2018 fiasco with the fuel resupply? There were lots of comments that it's probably more prudent to have a resupply set setup in Inuvik to supply the Beaufort-Delta communities for fuel and cargo. I'm wondering what the department's thoughts are on that. Mahsi.

Sorry. I'm just wondering about capital projects, whether that's in the section, too.
