Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don't think the availability of water is the issue. There is no place in the Northwest Territories that doesn't have water available to it in any amount. It is the producing and delivering of it that is costly. That is where conservation comes in. If people conserve a bit, they pay less. Right now, it is the government that is taking the burden of the cost. Other than Nahanni Butte, I think every community in the north has an ample supply of water. It is just the varying cost of delivering it and making it available to home owners. That's the area we are looking at for conservation because there is quite a bit of wastage, particularly when people don't pay very much for it. We are trying to grapple with that issue as well. That's why I

mentioned conservation. It's the cost of delivering it that's the issue, not the availability of it.
