Mr. Speaker, there has been about $2 million invested up until now. Most of that money is from the Power Corporation, not from the government, and if the Member wanted a break out I would have to get the numbers for her. Mr. Speaker, we have had letters of interest from all of the operating mines in the slave geological province telling us that they are interested in the potential of hydro power if we can make it available. We don't have any negotiated deals signed off yet, but all of the mines are interested if we are able to do that. As well, Mr. Speaker, there is also opportunity to sell that power south, and we will do some work over the next few months to look at that as an alternative. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
