Mr. Chairman, there are a number of core energy projects or objectives that we are proposing to fund. I won't get into that detail here. This is a part of that, Mr. Chairman. It will be part of the discussion in the coming weeks. In fact, next week we will have this discussion around this. Yes, we would like to see some federal investment. We think we can make a good case under some of the eco funds that are currently available. I know the Premier, the Minister of ENR and myself have both talked, all three of us have spoken with Minister Baird to talk about how those funds might be accessed. I have also spoken with the Minister of ENRCAN about that. We know they are going to be application based. We think this project is a prime candidate offsetting the diesel fuel at the mines. The expansion of that hydroelectric in the South Slave we think is going to pay huge dividends, Mr. Chairman. We are hoping to be able to make the sales pitch successful. We will see. Let me just say that we will discuss funding for this project next week and in the coming weeks. Thank you.
