Mr. Speaker, I can appreciate that it’s through that arm’s-length process, but, Mr. Speaker, I would hope that the figures are correct and current, because as I understand it, BHP alone may be requiring up to 30 megawatts which would consume all the potential expansion of the Taltson considering the present day use by Hay River, Fort Smith and I believe Fort Res. So when you add that demand, we may only be able to supply power to one mine, not considering the need of up to 35 megawatts of Diavik and Snap Lake, which is about 22. So, Mr. Speaker, would the Minister be willing to provide some updated figures to demonstrate that we are on top of this situation and would he be able to table any information to be able to show that we are presenting a workable solution getting this partnership agreement? Thank you.
