Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a comment, I guess. I'd just like to encourage the department to maybe put this up high on their priority list over the next year or so. Moving forward on this is something that's really a good initiative. You'll never get any bad feedback or backlashes from carrying out initiatives such as this. Any kind of energy conservation here in the NWT to reduce costs for the GNWT and the general public is always welcome. I always talk to residents in Fort Smith and Hay River and, of course, Fort Resolution, that are all around this power grid, and people just shake their heads and wonder why isn't the town, like Fort Smith, lit up like Las Vegas, they say. We got cheap power right in the backyard and people are just kind of wondering why it's all just not being used to their advantage or to the government's advantage. That's just a comment I'd like to make and if the Minister wants to respond, he can. Thank you.
