Mr. Speaker, my understanding at the beginning, on the base, there will be four compressor stations. One of them will be located in the area north of Inuvik near where the main gas fields are. One will be in the area of Norman Wells. Another one will be toward Wrigley and a fourth one somewhere in the Deh Cho along the highway. There are four compressor stations in the plans I have seen. That may change as we go through the environmental review. Those four compressor stations will need approximately 100 megawatts of power. Again, this is pipeline information and that's their project description but that can all change. To power that much gas through that line, no matter how they do it, will take something in the neighbourhood of 100 megawatts of power.

Our intention, Mr. Speaker, is to first run a power line, if we were to build on the Bear River, out to the gas line and then north and service the northern needs first. Then later on, we would follow the pipeline south. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
