Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, again, we have had a power outage with regard to the incident last winter because of the hydropower that caused the outage. Because of the old diesel generator backup system we had in the community, it was not functioning properly and we made the decision to replace the generator that is there, so we won't have the situation we had last year. The idea of having two systems in the community is to ensure we have an adequate source of power, so that when the power does go out, you have a backup system. The system that is there now will serve the community for many years to come with the new generator that has been put in Behchoko to ensure that when the power does go out through an outage because of the hydro line, we do have the backup system that will take care of this problem. Because we made that investment in the community, that should allow us to provide the adequate power that will be needed for community residents along with the seniors.
