Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I understand that is operations and maintenance and capital programs, but my question is more about the dollar values attached. For example, Mr. Speaker, trying to be a little clearer for the Minister, if you take in the Northwest Territories Power Corporation's billings to Government of the Northwest Territories departments, what is the value? Because someone from my community sees that $29 million is available and 50 percent of that then can be pulled aside and given directly to Gwich'in companies. In Inuvik it is 25 percent. The Inuvialuit have 25 percent, although I do not know if they even signed the agreement as of today. But there is that large number. If the gas supply, the Northwest Territories Power Corporation billings, the NorthwesTel billings add up to $15 million, does that mean that all the other projects that are out on the capital plan and all the other as-and-when are now not going to be available for an open-bid process to any companies in the region? Thank you.
