Mr. Chairman, hydro potential is a fairly long-term investment and a long-term project, when you consider the environmental reviews one has to go through. A lot of when we would see returns would depend on how quickly aboriginal leadership are ready to move ahead with projects. My guess would be that if we started working on the Taltson system today, we would probably be looking at five years from now to see a return. I think we are going to see a return gradually over the next 20 to 25 years as many of the potential sites in the Territories are developed. That is long term. Thank you.
