Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, would like to recognize Sarah and Freddy Jerome, who spent a lot of time within my riding visiting family and friends. Also I recall when they used to live 12 miles north of Tsiigehtchic. I still remember those days. Welcome to the House. Mahsi cho.

Thank you, Minister Sebert. Mr. Thompson.

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

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.

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.
