Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to be very clear that the increase in the price of oil is a worldwide factor. It has caused the Power Corporation's operations across the Northwest Territories to see a tremendous increase in costs in the last year. This is true in Inuvik, Iqaluit, and Yellowknife, and is only one very small part of what is really driving up the costs in the Inuvik high temperature heating system. I would not want to stand here and give the residents of Inuvik some cause to believe that there is going to be a significant decrease in the cost of the operations of that system because of the offset that we are expecting from Public Works. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
