Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the use of diesel means that then once a decision has been made by the town of Norman Wells, the power rates would go up and we would convert over 200 homes into diesel that are on natural gas now. Should the pipeline go through and Imperial says we are opening shop again, we have natural gas and you have to convert back if they want to go back to natural gas. That's what the town is asking. Is there some assistance if they choose not to go into the diesel because of the power rates? Do they have some assurance that the Government of the Northwest Territories will help them like they did with the town of Inuvik in converting their household furnaces and heaters into propane if they wanted to go with propane? Would the government help the town of Norman Wells? Thank you.
