Yes, Mr. Chairman. With regard to Treaty 8, from the Water Board hearings, we were instructed to try to overcome some of the difficulties in trying to reconcile a compensation package for a number of people. We had some difficulty in just getting connected and communicating so that we could do that. Just recently, two of the three individuals who were in question, have given notice that Salt River First Nations will be acting on their behalf. We are still trying to track down one individual. So we will still continue to work with that.
We still have some difficulty in trying to reconcile with the complainants. We took the Power Corporation over in 1988 and the end of our old licence was in 1994. So we are trying to do a reconciliation on just when the NWT Power Corporation should be liable for compensation, but that is a separate issue from the individuals. I believe that in a recent meeting that was held just a few days ago, it looks like the Treaty 8 people are willing to begin to try to resolve the issue overall. So I am pleased with that because we had some difficulty earlier, but that may have been because they were very busy with trying to get the government involved with the overall global negotiations on Treaty 8. I feel pleased that they are willing to sit down and start talking.
I can let Mr. Guthrie give a response to some of the other issues that were brought up that seem to be left open, particularly on the affirmative action and the alternative of trying to bring Taltson power around. We did a number of studies, including submerging a cable across the lake. I think Mr. Guthrie can give you more detail on that.
