Thank you, Madam Speaker. I attended a wonderful event last Thursday in my riding. It was a fashion show that the Inuit Women's Association had worked very hard on. They brought a hairdresser up for the event and they had sewn clothing all year for this event. I understand some $70,000 was committed to it and about half an hour into the show something happened that nobody could have foreseen. The power went out.

I would like to ask the Premier, in her capacity as Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation, why did it take 48 minutes to get the power on in Iqaluit, during which time over 200 people at the fashion show had to be sent home because they were told that the emergency batteries wouldn't last long enough for the able officials at the Power Corporation to get the plant running again? Why did it take 48 minutes, Madam Speaker?
