Mr. Speaker, given the current power consumption in Deline, it would certainly be marginal at best and most likely wouldn't be any cheaper in the short term than is the diesel generated power we have right now, unless the community were to grow or something were to change in the technology for these mini hydro projects. We have looked at them, there is some potential, and we are looking seriously, Mr. Speaker, at one in a community like Wha Ti. But again, a lot more work has to be done. Again, even the mini hydro are very capital intensive and likely would not be viable, I would guess, in Deline, but I'm not an engineer. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
