The community of Deline has been asking and been getting some support from the territorial government in terms of pursuing a mini-hydro project in the mouth of Bear River. It’s

been a fact that eight communities rely on hydro development along the highway system. There are 23 diesel communities. So far what I’ve heard from the Minister of Finance when he addresses these two communities that are in his address that list Lutselk’e and Whati as diesel communities that would look at alternative power in that community.

I want to ask the lead Minister in the Energy Coordinating Committee, is Deline getting the same kind of continued support in terms of being one of the diesel communities that are off the highway system to get continued support to look at the possibility of having a mini-hydro plant at Deline?
