Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Mr. Guy.

I think the numbers that the Minister is using are from a couple of years back, when they were just learning how to actually operate in this climate, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I actually got some numbers from November alone. We had over 120 tractor trailers hauling freight or B-trains hauling fuel up in that area. I would like to ask the Minister: what is the department's plan if, for some reason, Inuvik is in an emergency situation with a need for LNG during freeze-up time?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I know a lot of the information that the department is using is from a couple of years back. This 40 per cent closure he is referring to, I know in my discussions in the House, that was highway closures is what he is referring to. That might have been a couple of years back, but this year, it was very limited. Like I said, if you take the numbers that were used on the ferry this year, we have had in the neighbourhood of 200 tractor trailers, if not more. In the month of November alone, we had over 120. The reason I know this is because I communicate pretty well...

Question has been called. All those in favour. All those opposed. The motion is carried.

Carried
