Mr. Voytilla advises me not Fort Smith because I believe the rates are lower in Fort Smith. Maybe I can explain it. The domestic power subsidy provides a discount to all for example, in the domestic power subsidy, Mr. Chairman residential users outside of Yellowknife for the first 700 kilowatts used per month. There's a subsidy built in there. So that's how it's done. The Yellowknife rate is used, and this year it's going to cost $5.857 million, and the Power Corporation declares a dividend, so the net impact to this government is zero. Thank you.
