Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have questions for the Minister of ENR -- Environment and Natural Resources -- and it’s regarding the Taltson potential expansion. Mr. Speaker, I will make it clear first that I am certainly in favour of the Taltson expansion. I think it’s the right way to go. It’s certainly the future of our power source and it does the right things the right way.
Mr. Speaker, the concerns that have come forward from the constituency and “from people in the know,” who are concerned about two areas. In essence, if we go forward with the expansion, do we have the capacity to facilitate the agreement and, secondly, the essence of the agreements aren’t necessarily being signed or being stalled, because I have heard it’s an unworkable solution.
Mr. Speaker, the question to the Minister of Environment is do we have the capacity and the expansion to meet the needs of the three diamond mines that we are supposed to be signing a contract with that the expansion and the agreement are supposed to be based on? Thank you.
