Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First of all, the proposal like that would be received openly. We, first of all, want to make sure that we have a supply of power. So assuming we proceed with the expansion of the Taltson as a joint venture with other partners and there is enough power there, then we'd be open to do it. Mr. Speaker, of course, depending on the costs and how much our government is willing to put in and how much we might get through the federal government, this could be very feasible and would certainly be a way of getting cleaner energy to those communities, Mr. Speaker. So we'd be very interested in looking at it and doing things creatively as we are with Fort Smith, where we're piloting some electrical heat projects. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
