Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would be cautious it I were going into a business on a one year basis. I wondered if this would be to the community's benefit to enter into or have provisions for longer terms than one year. I realize that it is a small field in the grand scheme of things compared to Delta gas or offshore supplies, nonetheless it is still a source. I wondered if it would be to the community's benefit to be guaranteed the sole rights to the gas for a period of longer than one year. Something could happen to the value of the gas and I wondered if it would be in the community's best interests to secure a supply for a longer period of time than 12 months. Is this a concern of the GNWT on behalf of the consumers in that area?
