Thanks for being here. I appreciate it.
We've had both Bob McLeod here and the Premier of Yukon on Skype, or whatever you call it.
I think the three of you have the three toughest jobs in Canada, and I'm from Alberta so I have a bit of a feel for what goes on in the north. Just to be clear, certainly all of us on this side of the table would agree with you in terms of the carbon tax, except we believe that it shouldn't just be abolished in the north; we think it should be scrapped all across the country. Let's just make sure that's on the table.
On that, one of the difficulties I see is certainly the cost of doing business in places like High Level and some of the northern B.C. communities, which—and I acknowledge—is not as high, as extreme, as in the territories or in Nunavut. The question from the federal government's standpoint is, how do you exempt one area of the country, and then where does it stop in terms of that? I would see that as a potential problem.
But I actually want to speak on a more positive vein. I'd like to know a bit more about the port you talked about. How many days a year would that port be operational?
