Mr. Speaker, I believe there are two issues. It is not only that it is public property and that we have an investment. We have spent lots of money on that and government carries the debt in investing money in that. I think it is important for the government to say that these are not to be divvied up in pieces, and everybody take what is good for them, and leave the communities without means for effective and economical energy sources.

Would the Minister please commit to us that he will look at the total picture and look at what is good for all of the communities in the North, not just looking at it as an asset that is saleable and divisible? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
