Mr. Speaker, the honourable Member is quite correct in saying that there have been two considerations in terms of using the excess power from Fort Smith. Both proposals have been brought forward and both are to do with the amount that it would cost. It really did not equate very well in terms of allowing power to be delivered at a less expensive rate. As a result, both studies have shown the cost of bringing power around the lake or across the lake is excessive. Therefore, the Northwest Territories Power Corporation will be pursuing, with the Town of Fort Smith, other uses of that excess power such as electrical heating or other uses rather than having the power waste away. Thank you.
