Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the department has looked at it in conjunction with the Power Corporation and looked at the cost of putting a generator in that facility. The Power Corporation has installed new diesel generators in the community to ensure they have a secure power base. As we all know, Behchoko has two sources of power, hydro and also it does have a backup generator system which is new. We replaced the engines in the old power plant and it should avoid the blackouts and ensure we have an adequate source of power in that community. So through those discussions between the two corporations, we were able to come to the conclusion that there is an adequate source of power in the community to ensure that the community will have a safe source of energy. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
