Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have some
questions as well on this particular project. My
questions have been somewhat answered already. I will try not to go over the same ground again. I want to state for the record that I firmly believe we need to take the western route around the lake or across the lake. It definitely needs to be looked at, in terms of its feasibility. I don’t see much sense in providing power to the mines for 15, 20 years and then having a hydro line going nowhere. My colleague to my right advises me that this power line isn’t even going to go to Lutselk’e. It’s going to pass somewhere to the south of it, and that seems pretty ridiculous. So I certainly agree that this route, the western route, needs to be looked at, and I’m happy to hear that it will be.
The environmental assessment is currently being done based on the route to the east, and should we decide that it’s the route to the west that we would want to go with, would the environmental assessment continue on the east, or can it be stopped midway and then change the route and go west?
