Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think it may sound like a legal question but I think that it is at the core of what we need to do. I think this is what this government has to look at. Mr. Speaker, I believe that if it was not for the possibility of opting out and having communities have a say in that, we might not have had a situation in Fort Simpson and Hay River.

What I am saying, Mr. Speaker, is that I have a problem with the way we provide this essential service when Yellowknife has its own service. If Yellowknife, Hay River, Fort Smith, Fort Simpson, everybody gets picked off, what kind of asset do you have; whether it is private, public or aboriginal? Would the Minister look at the total picture? Whoever is generating, distributing, regulating the energy sector in the end, it has to stay together in a shape that is marketable and saleable and is something that is strong enough to provide power and energy sources to its people. I think it falls within his mandate to look at it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
