Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For the past year or so, the Power Corporation has done a number of things to help with the cost of power. First of all, they've done up to 500 audits and they would be very pleased to go in, if they haven't done it already, and do audits of power usage by customers in communities like Colville Lake to help them come up with ideas on how to cut down the power. We would also be willing to take the same message to the Energy Alliance. The Department of RWED also has some capacity to help people to find ways to cut down on their power. Mr. Speaker, in the short term, we will help people try to manage their power consumption, but it's very difficult to change the cost of providing that power in the short term. We need to look at those immediate things we can do as well as the longer-term picture. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
