Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I mentioned before, you know, a few years ago Tuk did have a full-time employee for the Power Corp and got the contract, but I understand the Minister's response. But one of the questions I'd like to ask the Minister is in regard to the...Like in Tuk, like I said earlier, Mr. Speaker, 61.61 cents per kilowatt hour and then 13.73 cents after that for the diesel rider. I'd like to ask the Minister...and I'm sure that we can get an explanation in regard to how do these rates come up. I understand that we are subsidized for the first 100 kilowatts from Yellowknife and then on top of that we're paying these other costs. So I'd like to ask the Minister to explain so my people in Nunakput understand the reasoning behind the cost of the 61.61 and also the 13.73 cents. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
