Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think the deadline Imperial gave us, of course, is determined by the amount of gas that's there. We know the Norman Wells field is a field that is gradually being depleted. That's the challenge with fossil fuels, is that at some point they run out. So, Mr. Speaker, we will be asking Esso for more information on why it's necessary to cut back on the supply to the town. My understanding is that they are providing fuel to the Power Corporation. However, Mr. Speaker, the alternatives are complex. We need to get more information and I'm sure that the denouement of this situation is going to be one that's beneficial to everybody. Thank you.
