Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not have any general comments but I do have a general question to do with the heavy dependence of this utility on petroleum, oil and lubricants and so on. There had been a proposal that this particular function be moved out of Yellowknife and placed in Hay River, the argument being that if it were under the Power Corporation this would be a logical place for it. However, eventually the decision was that perhaps that would not be in the broad general interest of the public so the decision was made to move it to Rankin Inlet. Does it really matter to the Power Corporation, does it have any impact or does it make any difference where that particular function is performed, whether it is in Yellowknife, Hay River or anywhere else. Does it have any impact on the operations of the utility?
