Please provide a breakdown of the operating costs for the Louis Cardinal ferry at the Mackenzie River and the Abraham Francis ferry at the Peel River.

What is the total season’s cost for gravel required at each ferry crossing?

What is the cost of operating the camp for employees at the Louis Cardinal ferry?

Please provide the cost for additional labour hired to construct ice road crossings on the Mackenzie and Peel Rivers.

What is the cost of operating the Inuvik Regional Marine Operations office?
