Thank you, Mr. Chair. With regard to the Sahtu hydro assessment, last year in 2009-10 we budgeted $100,000 for the assessment of hydro resources in the Sahtu region. This year, 2010-11, we budgeted $500,000 to work on specific hydro projects and, as the Member indicated, there is a Sahtu symposium being held in Deline this week and what we’re expecting out of the workshop is it would review the findings of the Sahtu hydro assessment. I should point out, and as the Member knows, there are multiple sites in the Sahtu region that are technically feasible to develop such as there are a number of river basins: the Great Bear, Mackenzie, Keele, Mountain, Carcajou, Camsell and Red Stone. As well, there have been some discussions on mini-hydro and so on. So our expectation is that as a result of the Sahtu hydro symposium, we’ll get some direction as to which specific projects we can begin to work on in 2010-11. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
