Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think my constituents have been quite understanding over the major power outage last fall while the new generator was being installed. They were pleased to hear, around February 3, that the new generator would be on line that day. Last week they received explanations that there were continuing problems with the governor and the automatic shut-off and that senior officials would travel to Iqaluit to look at the problems first hand and deal with them. However, yesterday and again today there were more outages. They seem to occur during periods of peak use, at lunch and dinner time. Could I ask the Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation, what is going on in the Iqaluit power plant? Thank you.
