Madam Speaker, the short answer is yes. The explanation is that it was designed to meet the particular concern that we knew would be raised because the water levels were low. We had a dry season and my understanding is that the water supply was being conserved over the summer to make sure that in the high-use times, hydro would be available, rather than relying extensively on diesel. Diesel was used at the low-use times, which is in the summertime. Thank you.
