I just want to be cautious. I do

support the principles of the Taltson hydro project. I support a framework that creates a grid system throughout the North. I’d certainly be in favour of an expansion that links more communities, but I’m cautiously optimistic about this project that will be bringing an opportunity to the North. The one thing that does scare me about this, which is my next question: what capacity will this bring the Taltson project up to in megawatts, and what is the projected amount of demand required by the new customers that we’re negotiating with?
