Mr. Speaker, the Power Corporation is still interested in taking over the facility and operating it, owning it and maintaining it. However, the issue is price of assets, and it's still in the interests of the Power Corporation to proceed. However, like I said earlier, there is a wide gap between what the Power Corporation feels is an adequate purchase price and what the government feels is an adequate purchase price. The intent of the Power Corporation is to continue to pursue the takeover of the Sanikiluaq plant. However, until there can be some reconciliation on the margins, the Power Corporation will continue to pursue this; at the same time, I would assume that it is still the responsibility of the Department of Public Works and Services to make sure the power plant continues to operate. Thank you.
