Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier, all of the rates for the first 700 kilowatts are subsidized back to the Yellowknife price. So if we find that the prices are going up in the diesel-generated power communities, then it will be the government who will be subsidizing through our power subsidy program, not Yellowknife, but the government will be subsidizing all those communities to bring them back to the Yellowknife prices. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
