Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It seems like the answer could be very simple, yet it’s so complex. I ask this government to take this situation in Norman Wells under consideration for the 17th to have some discussion under the
Extraordinary Funding Policy.
It’s nobody’s fault. The pipeline broke. The town was left with a situation where they had to bring in a machine that would keep the power and lights on in Norman Wells. The town has also asked to pay for your own power bill and go through that to the customers. The government is doing what they can for a long-term solution. The immediate solution now is that somebody has to pay the $700,000 bill and it’s going to be up to the town because of their sound fiscal discipline and responsibility of doing good management. Can the Premier bring this forward to this Cabinet to look for solutions in the 17th ?
