Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the lack of a good indication at the control centre about whether or not there is a power problem has been clearly recognized by the Power Corporation. This problem is being addressed. The Power Corporation is in the process of spending about $500,000 on a major upgrade to the power system in Rae-Edzo. Once a new computerized control system is installed, the control centre in Yellowknife will automatically be notified of any major power fluctuations in the area. That would mean that there would not be a requirement for somebody in the community to call the control centre. So, Mr. Speaker, there has been a recognition of a problem in the area and the corporation is moving to solve it in the next few months. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
