Mr. Speaker, the savings on the gas turbine is not as great as are the increased costs in providing power. So there is still a shortfall in Inuvik as there is right across all of the Territories when we work out the cost of operating the Power Corporation and the cost of fuel and capital costs. Inuvik has those same costs. Every community has the shortfall rider because this goes right across the system. If we didn't have the savings from the gas turbines in Inuvik, instead of the energy rate being 38.13 cents, or whatever it is exactly, it would be about five cents per kilowatt hour higher than that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
