Thank you, Mr. Speaker, honourable Members. Mr. Speaker, as I was saying, expanded hydro will provide southern-based economies with alternate, clean sources of energy to replace gas or coal-fire power plants and reduce greenhouse gas emission impacts. Expanded hydro will provide long-term employment opportunities in the Northwest Territories.
Mr. Speaker, I think we have embarked on a good project here. I encourage the Minister and the government to continue the exploration of new, alternate energy technologies as well, such as solar-based initiatives.
We have an awful lot to offer the world from the Northwest Territories in terms of resources. I hope to see the government and aboriginal partners move forward with this as quickly as possible. Thank you.
