Mr. Chair, thanks again for that explanation. I didn’t realize we were talking about different categories there. We have a new category here which is now NT Energy core funding for staff. I think I understand now. Again, a substantial drop from $1.25 million and, plus, $4.75 million in the past. This year $700,000 is the replacement figure.

Just quickly in my head, we are going from $6 million down to $700,000. Again, it is quite a drop and at a time – at the risk of repeating myself over departments – when energy issues and cost of living are indeed the issue of the day as well as economic development, which this is the biggest factor in supporting.

I know we have mines that are being considered under environmental review for hydroelectricity. We have grids in the NWT that we would like to see tied

together. We have communities that are not – they are currently on diesel energy – that have had substantive feasibility work done, who are hollering for stabilized and reduced power prices, especially in the face of the 30 percent increase, that is, plus it is proposed now over the next few years. Some decisions have been made and choices have been made. I think I am not very comfortable with those choices, given that this has been repeatedly identified as a major issue for us.

I look forward to further discussion on this page. I think we did a deferral in ENR; we could do another one here. I think the issues are closely tied together, and should there be a proposal to defer this page, I certainly would support that proposal. I look forward to further discussion. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
