Mr. Speaker, I understand that the cost of such a transmission line would require about $10 million in capital and that would be too much for those consumers, for those power plants that are now diesel, to absorb. But industry could come forward with a cost sharing on the capital costs. So at a cost of about $5 million to this government we could significantly reduce the consumption of diesel and the greenhouse gas emissions to service these communities. How would a proponent go about making such a submission application to this government for $5 million in capital and how would that be received? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
