Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Premier, knowing that the group that probably would have benefited most from the one-rate zone in regard to all of the strategies and initiatives we put in place, but I think a lot of times this government loses sight of small communities, and those communities who are on diesel dependency. In his comments, he kept referring to hydro and those types of initiatives, but in most cases, a lot of communities we represent do not have hydro.

I would like to ask the Minister, exactly what comfort is he going to give to those communities who are diesel dependent in regard to having the high cost of power, the high cost of energy? What is he as a government going to do to bring down those costs in our small communities so that we have a fair distribution of power in communities in the Northwest Territories?
