Mr. Speaker, we have looked at It several times. There have been all kinds of recommendations made to us; getting rid of the subsidy program; making it user-pay. There have been people in the Northwest Territories who say we should be paying less because we are on hydro power, that it should not be a sort of pooled system. To answer the Member's question directly, we have done nothing as yet to address this problem that some people across the Northwest Territories consider the inconsistencies between power rates. It is a very complex subject, particularly since the Government of the Northwest Territories in many instances is the person who pays the bill for power through one means or another. So we have had some looks at it, Mr. Speaker, but we have not done anything to date. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
