Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The raven did it. Mr. Speaker, I am assuming that the Member is talking about the two power outages that were experienced in Yellowknife on Saturday. Those are the most recent ones that I am aware of. On Saturday, about 11:00 a.m., there was a power outage that did result from a raven on the Bluefish line. Approximately noon, there was a second outage which was as a result of frost build up on the Snare hydro line. This caused the line to sag and thus experience a ground fault interruption.
Earlier this month there was a power failure on the Snare line, again caused by frost build up which had been noticed in a helicopter surveillance flight. There was a team scheduled to remove the frost the next day, but before they could get to the site, the frost build up caused the line to sag and cause a ground fault.
Mr. Speaker, there have been some mechanical failures at the Snare hydro site this month that we have not been able to identify as to why those outages happened, other than something causes the breakers to trip mechanically.
