Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Knowing that there are no diamond mines in the South Slave region, we do not know if there is oil and gas in that area, the long term viability of hydro development -- a very long term, Mr. Chairman -- is a good economic initiative to take. I would encourage the department and the Minister to continue consultation with the aboriginal group but I would encourage him to take it one step further; that he hosts, in a South Slave community, a regional leadership meeting specifically to deal with Taltson, knowing that there has been pressure on the Northwest Territories by Alberta in their discussions on the development of the Slave River. I encourage the Minister again to host a Taltson hydro development project meeting with the South Slave leadership. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
