Thank you, Mr.

Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I’m not sure who my questions are for. We have stated in this House that the cost of living in the North may well be the biggest issue that this government, the 16th Assembly, will grapple with.

We have only to turn on the radio and the television, and we hear about the rising costs of fuel, the rising cost of food. A big part of our costs of living in the North is related to energy. I’m concerned about this government seeming reluctant or the speed at which they are responding to these rising energy costs and the price of fuel.

NTPC has a mandate for some of the delivery of energy in the Northwest Territories. I’d like to ask — I’m not sure if this would be Minister Bob McLeod…. I’d like to ask him what NTPC is doing to get away from the generation of power with diesel fuel.
