Again, Mr. Chairman, I know the importance of hydro energy as a valuable asset to the communities. To help the communities, you see it in the prices of electricity paid where there’s hydro going into the communities versus the thermal communities. You don’t have to sell me on that. The hydro communities have this infrastructure given to them as a gift from the federal government. They set up mines here and we’re taking it over. I think for myself I want to say that I do support the Deze Energy Corporation. It involves some really good people in there to put the project together. It’s helping to reduce the greenhouse emissions. It’s cutting the loads of trucks into the mines with fuel for the mines. That will help with the wildlife in that area. There is good potential for people in Lutselk’e, Fort Smith, Fort Resolution and Hay River to look at this here. I’m not going to go into that area. I want to know about security to say yes. We have a project that the money that we’re approving is going to get a good return on it, hopefully, that we can have these types of discussions in the future when we look at mini-hydro projects in the Sahtu or any other region to go ahead with this initiative. Thank you.
