Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is a business that the community wants to take over with all of its benefits and problems too, I am sure. They do not know what the price is or the value of the assets. We looked at it when we were in Norman Wells and it is very straightforward. There is a main gate and pipeline that runs into the ground. I was curious as to what the value of the assets were. By what I read, it was anywhere from $1 to $650,000. As in any other business one would want to know how much you are going to have to pay for something so they can come up with a cost to the community and to the consumer. I wondered if a price had been established yet and if not, when would a price for the transfer of the assets be determined so the consumers in that area would have an idea of what their utility is going to cost and how this will impact on businesses and home owners in that community?
