Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member’s statement today I made reference to the Tamerlane Ventures venture at the old Pine Point site. I notice today -- I can’t find the page where the Finance Minister referenced it -- he talked about several different potential mining projects but he left Tamerlane off the list.
The Finance Minister also kept making reference to Taltson and the supply of power to the mines and power purchase agreements. I can’t even guess how much money the government has spent running down that road of trying to sell hydro to the diamond mines. The diamond mines have a limited life. We have a small venture south of the lake which could bring amazing employment opportunities to Hay River, and economic activity. I want to know where this government is at. Like I say, it didn’t rank for mention in the budget address today. Where does the government see themselves putting a priority on doing what we can reasonably to assist with getting that project up and off the ground in terms of cost to power?
