Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are a number of options to look at. One of them would be to switch over and begin to produce power and so on with diesel. Another one would be to just simply switch to propane and if we believe gas is coming through the pipeline anyway and it's going to be a matter of five or six years, then it's much less expensive to switch the units over to propane and use propane for a few years and if natural gas is available, go back to natural gas rather than go to the expensive route of diesel. Mr. Speaker, a consultant has been hired. Our people are looking at it. We will see what the options are. Then we will meet with the town and with them, decide what is the most appropriate and what level of support might be necessary. Thank you.
