Thank you, Mr. Speaker and welcome colleagues. Mr. Speaker, it has been over a week since the water level has dropped to its normal level within my riding. Yet there has been no work started on the ferry landings. This is the first year I have seen the ferry launch before the landings were prepared. As of this morning, the Peel River ferry was still on the land. Also, the slipways are not in place and the landings are not even prepared. Mr. Speaker, my constituents want to know why this is. Usually the Peel River is the first ferry that is in place. During this time of year, our cost of living rises like you wouldn’t believe, for a bag of grapes, for example, that is on sale over $26 this past week in one of my communities. My constituents want to know what is the hold-up? Also, when will the ferry service for the Peel River resume? I will have questions for the Minister later today. Thank you.
