Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think if people think back, they shouldn't be 100 percent surprised by this decision because when they hooked up, they knew it was going to happen someday. Mr. Speaker, we are looking, as we negotiate on the pipeline, the feasibility of connecting communities to gas from that pipeline. Mr. Speaker, even that will run out some day. I will go back to my favourite fuel and that is hydro fuel. I think we have to, in the long term, look at hydro generated power that is there as long as the rivers flow, and that is going to be our long-term source, Mr. Speaker. But that is long term. Immediately, we will work with the town and come up with what makes most sense. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
