Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today my question is for the Premier in his role as the Minister responsible for the Northwest Territories Power Corporation. Mr. Speaker, in the outlying communities, many people, for one reason or another, have to leave the community. We have very low unemployment, and for those reasons, there are times, unfortunately Mr. Speaker, when the Northwest Territories Power Corporation is forced to cut the power to people's homes.

When this happens -- sometimes, Mr. Speaker, it may not happen all of the time -- the water that is in the house, in the tanks and the pipes, freezes, causing severe damage to the house and costing individuals and/or this government a lot of dollars. Some of these houses are social housing, Mr. Speaker.

For that reason, I would like to ask the Minister, what is the policy of the Northwest Territories Power Corporation when they have to cut power to people's homes? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
