Mr. Speaker, let me be clear that the direction to the Energy Corporation, which is partly owned by the Power Corporation, is that they will pay us as a government, as shareholders, fewer dividends. The dividends will be reduced by the amount that they invest to hydro projects. Mr. Speaker, that doesn't mean that the owners of the hydro project, assuming that these proceed, wouldn't also look to other programs for some assistance. Mr. Speaker, for example, with the Great Bear project, that one is proposed to be partly owned by the Power Corporation and partly by the Tulita and Deline land corporations. The Tulita and Deline land corporations could very well apply for training assistance, for example, or through some other program that RWED may offer, but they would do that as shareholders independent of the Power Corporation but part of the whole corporate structure. Thank you.
