Dennis Patterson Iqaluit

Madam Speaker, I should maybe quit while I'm ahead here.

---Laughter

I hear certain rumblings from other parts of this House.

---Laughter

But I do have the floor and I would like to thank the Premier for those extra comments. I'm sure they will be duly noted by the Iqaluit for Capital Committee. What I would like to ask the Premier, Madam Speaker, is there has been a lot of money spent on upgrading the system in Iqaluit. There was a lot of money spent last year when there were some serious power outages and I know a lot of money was spent this summer on new units. Is there a procedure in the corporation for dealing with these kinds of problems? Is there a procedure for training operators or doing drills to ensure that the back-up systems are tested on a regular basis? Thank you.
