Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, my questions are for the Premier with respect to power-related issues. Mr. Speaker, information would indicate that with respect to the Taltson Hydro Dam expansion that our government has invested a fair amount of money in posing that question as to whether or not that is a good idea, and whether or not there is a market for additional hydro from the Taltson River, at least $1 million on an engineering study and at least $1 million on an environmental study. The market that is being targeted for that hydro is from mining companies, and we have heard reference to the Snap Lake mine as one of the potential customers for that. Mr. Speaker, I realize that we need to invest money in order to make money, and this seems to have some financial viability for the Power Corporation and ultimately for this government, but I am wondering how confident the Premier is with respect to those markets given the amount of money that is being invested in pursuing this Taltson expansion. Thank you.
