Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I also respect the aspirations of the people in the Sahtu to have more affordable access to power supply. However, it seems that maybe some of the information out there isn't as complete as it could be in terms of the viability. For example, to get the hydro from where it's generated to the communities and then powered down requires substations and transmission infrastructure that's worth millions and millions of dollars. Has anyone taken the community as a case profile and applied the economics to it to give us any kind of an idea how many years we would be looking for some kind of a payback on diesel replacement? Thank you.
