Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The outstanding issue with regard to the new intake plant in Rae is the identification of the water source. As the Member has noted, the current budget is based on continuing to obtain water from the same source. However, at the MLAs request, the department had undertaken some testing of alternative sites with the MLA and the community. That testing was completed in the fall. We are expecting the lab reports by the end of this month, at which point a decision will be made on the appropriate water source. Should there be a problem with the amount of funding, it will have to be addressed but until we can get the results back and determine the appropriate water source, it would be premature to explore additional funding. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
