I am not saying it isn’t a good business case built on the principles of sound economics, but, Mr. Speaker, I have been informed by people in the know that the capacity levels required by the three diamond mines could be up to the range of 88 megawatts. Of course, if I’ve taken the math provided by Industry, Tourism and Investment’s NWT Energy Facts newsletter. When I consider the capacity levels, I am not sure they are operating on the same page. Mr. Speaker, when was the last time the Department of ITI has gone back to get some clarity on demands required by these three diamond mines? Because if you follow the old newsletter, they only need 43 megawatts, which is 50 percent, I understand, of what their present need is. So when was the last time those figures have been updated? Thank you.
