Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when the whole idea of generating additional hydro power in the Northwest Territories began to be spoken of, there have been studies on the books for years about this, but most recently in the 14th Assembly there was a great deal of anticipation and excitement about this potential because of all the merits of hydro power. I still think that we need to be cautious, ensure that we have a good business plan in front of us as we pursue some of these initiatives. So I would like the Premier, if he would, to also speak to the challenges of the transmission. He has spoken to the markets and the letters of interest from the mining companies, but the transmission infrastructure is always a big question in this equation given the life of the mines and their requirements, and I would like to know whether the Premier believes that those transmission issues can be addressed adequately. Thank you.
