Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that such a subsidy would not have to go through the PUB, although in the end the Public Utilities Board would deem it as a non-accountable expenditure so that would make a difference on their bottom line. The only subsidy that is available, is available to all residents of the Northwest Territories, based on the rate that is established in Yellowknife. Any extra subsidy would have to be considered by the board of the Northwest Territories Power Corporation, if they were going to do it themselves. If the government was going to do it, then it would have to be considered by Cabinet through the government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
