Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’d just
like to confirm that if the Taltson project proceeds, previous investments will be capitalized, and the GNWT could see these investments returned.
We’re still in early days with the Taltson Hydro Expansion Project. The environmental assessment process would effectively take 12 to 18 months. What we’re talking about is a power legacy that would last for up to a hundred years. It would be
developed in partnership with the Métis and the Akaitcho. The diamond mines would have a limited life, so the expectation would be that there would have to be a further extension of the lines at some point after the life of the diamond mines has expired.
