Thank you, colleagues. The area is strategic initiatives and the $730,000 earmarked for the NWT Energy Corporation for feasibility and environmental studies on the Taltson project. One area of real significance to any of these hydro projects, Madam Chair, is the identification of the customer. The discussion that I've seen of late on the Taltson project has focused exclusively on the diamond mines as a customer for new Taltson power. I know that one aspect of discussion, at least in early days, Madam Chair, was whether or not there could be a connection made into the southern grid, and explore virtually the rest of North America as a customer for our power. The question I wanted to ask relates to any ongoing research, or investigation into the customer base, and can it be conclusively shown, and could evidence be provided, that the mines are where we absolutely want to go? Thank you.
